Architecture: i486
>Description:
Source code for X11R6.3 is not compatible with Kerberos V5 1.0:
Function and macro calls do not contain "context" field.
>How-To-Repeat:
See for example k5encode.c in libXau; functions XauKrb5Encode() and
XauKrb5Decode() called for example by xhost.c.
>Fix:
(1) Add "context" field to function calls and macro calls in X11R6.3 source,
as well as a call to krb5_init_context(). This fix is untested.
(2) Obtain corrected X11R6.3 code or patches, source unknown to me.
