O, I completely agree that the MIT code is broken with regard to
prot_ready.  My question is whether there is a reasonable way to make
prot_ready work for an RFC 1964 mechanism?  Reading the base GSSAPI
spec, it sounds like both pwrap and unwrap must work.  I.E. in the
Kerberos case, a client must be able to receive both a context token
and a message token from the acceptor, and pass the message token into
gss_unwrap before passing the context token into
gss_accept_sec_context.

I don't know how to handle sequence state in that case.  Clearly we
cannot make sequence service available until the context is
established, but I don't even know how to resynchronize state dealing
with messages that may have already been received in order to set that
up.
