   Is there a chance that the goal could be thread-safe as well?  I know what
   Ted's views about threaded applications are from LinuxExpo but I'm
   wondering if anyone has talked about that.

Thread-safety (beyond on a per-connection basis using krb5_context)
isn't really high on the priority list at this point.  We have many
other things we'd like to do with krb5 source tree first....

   I haven't looked at the current tree to see what an undertaking that would
   be but I have to imagine it's a pretty big one.

You'd be right....  :-)
