It makes things easier when you depend on the mathematical properties of
32-bit integers ... such as when you're shifting bits around when
doing DES calculations, for instance. I'd agree that's a bug too, but
I was going for minimum work :-)
I take it you actually tried setting krb5_int32 to be an int on the
Cray, and it failed the self-test? That's interesting. I wouldn't have
expected that. I had thought the DES code didn't make 32-bit
assumptions, but if it does, that would be quite unfortunate.
