It appears that the handling of multiple keys in the database with
multiple salts has recently broken.  I have DES-CBC-CRC/V4 keys in the
database and it appears that I am failing to decrypt the keys now,
probably because it is assuming the V5 salt.  Before, the server
returned to the client the correct salt, and the client used it.  Using
two different versions of "kinit" with the same configuration compiled
in, it either works or it doesn't, so I suspect it was a libkrb5 change
that broke it.

Any clues?  The logs don't seem to point to an obvious change, but a lot
has happened in the last two weeks.
