The compile_et in the krb5 tree converted the statement
error_code KPW_STR_POLICY_EXPLANATION,
"%s's password is controlled by the policy %s, which
requires a minimum of %u characters from at least %u classes (the five classes
are lowercase, uppercase, numbers, punctuation, and all other characters)."
into the C code
"%s's password is controlled by the policy %s, which,
losing the following two lines of text and the closing double-quote.
This worked at OV, although I seem to recall that we used a "special"
compile_et; perhaps we fixed this bug ourselves, I'm not sure. I
could ask jik or Harry Carter about it.
