I described to Transarc the problem... Their session key generator is not
vulnerable, however, the kaserver KDB creation does have a similar hole.
In fact, I described the hole to them three years ago, but I have just
re-iterated it to them...  I broke their kaserver creation a long time ago,
with exactly the same technique (it creates the krbtgt and AuthServer.Admin
keys based on the same weak sources).
