Solaris recvauth/sendauth exchanges deals poorly with errors

	When klogind from the krb5 locker is run on a Sun that doesn't
get its cannonical hostname correct (I.E. an Athena Sun without
/etc/hosts corrected) and without a v5srvtab, the client gets into an
endless loop waiting for sendauth to return.  This sounds similar to a
bug I fixed just after joining the team last June, but different.  It
appears to be somewhat OS specific.  I will try to trace through it
later today.
