After fixing the above mentioned problems also I was able to
get the GSS sample to work.  The hostname resolution problem
is because WSAStartup was never called.  After adding this
the sample works but still does gpf if there is an error like
an expired ticket.  The error is from calling
gss_display_status with GSS_C_MECH_CODE the first time.
The error is apparently from the initial linking up of the
error tables but for now I just dont call it.

After all of this the GSS server was also fairly
simple to get working.
