Couple of comments.  First of all, your patch to in_tkt_ktb.c is a
perfect proof about how people who claim that going to all efforts to
avoid "goto" statements are in space.  It took me a quite a bit of time
to figure out what the heck your patch was trying to do.  I assume that
it was making sure the keytab file was being closed when an error
occured.

Secondly, a few comments about what each of your patches do, especially
when it may not be immediately obvious, are greatly appreciated.  It can
save me quite a bit of time.

Finally, what are the patches to the Makefiles of the form:

+ kdb5_destroy.o: kdb5_destroy.c

for?  Don't tell me SunSoft's make is so broken that it can't even
figure out a dependency rule this basic on its own?
