I believe this is happening due to a library finalization ordering
issue. We assume that libraries are finalized in reverse dependency
order--in this case, since libcom_err uses libkrb5support, we assume
that the libcom_err finalizer can call libkrb5support functions and
have them work (because libkrb5support finalizers won't run until
afterwards).
If AIX cannot provide this guarantee, the simplest workaround is
probably to disable library finalizers on AIX, at the cost of leaking a
little bit of memory if the krb5 libraries are repeatedly loaded and
unloaded. To do this, try removing the line
"use_linker_fini_option=yes" from the *-*-aix5* branch of
src/config/shlib.conf.
