V5b5/V5b4pl3 rlogin -f/-F problem

Hello,

   I have had a problem forwarding credentials from a V5b4pl3 rlogin
client to a V5b5 rlogin server.  Anytime I use -f or -F the V5b5
krlogind dies in (appl/bsd/forward.c:rd_and_store_for_creds)
at the call to krb5_rd_cred .  Some debugging yields that in the
function (lib/krb5/krb/rd_cred.c) krb5_rd_cred_basic(), the address
checking on the remote address is getting a NULL pointer.  In short
the call is:

	krb5_address_compare(context, remote_addr, encpart.s_address)

but I've found that encpart.s_address is NULL and the call bombs.

   I haven't had the time to check this with only V5b5 client and server
(sorry, I don't have the resources just now).  However, the V5b5
client to a V5b4pl3 server with -f/-F does work.

Thank you,
Andrew Gross
