   Given the routine and how the realloc is done, I sure hope that it is
   not generally available to application developers...  

If we had an API document, it'd say something about "use this only if
you really know what you are doing it."  :-)  Actually, as long as you
follow a few simple rules, it's not all that hard.

   Anyway, we still
   need a routine to free the memory allocated by it.  Suggestions?
	   krb5_free_name(krb5_context, char *)	?

How about

	krb5_free_unparsed_name(krb5_context, char *)
