krb5b6 ksu forces the source ccache to stay open and never closes it,
which means the lock on the source ccache is not released until ksu
exits. This can be inconvenient if you are ksu'ing something that will
be around for a while (e.g. a shell), as nothing else can write to
the source ccache until that exits.
Enclosed is a patch, but as I am a relative novice at kerberos 5, I
offer no guarantees of correctness.
