To name a few:
krb5_defkeyname
krb5_max_dgram_size
krb5_max_skdc_timeout
krb5_default_pwd_prompt1
krb5_default_pwd_prompt
The biggy for me is the krb5_defkeyname - I have another gripe about that
being a global variable potentially overriden by krb5.conf and no way for
a program to supercede it..
The other issues include static variables in functions which assume
a single thread walking through said code - so some sort of mutex lock is needed.
Also, I don't know the ins and outs regarding file locking - if that needs to
be on a per thread base - in case two threads try accessing the same credential
cache, etc....
I have never programmed in threads, so there are probably other issues.
