I know that the Beta 4 code submitted by CyberSAFE does support
shortcuts.  I tested it myself.  Note that the shortcut is provided by
the KDC when responding to a request.  If the requested realm is not
present, it will return the ream closest to the target for which it
does share a key.  Are you sure that you are not running a mix of old
code with local mods with only some functions from Beta 4.
