      I did ask Harry to do that, but I haven't had a chance to check through
      the code and make sure it does this.  Is there a specific reason why
      you're asking; something that we should be worried about?   ....

   Yes; the ASN.1 encoders used by the kerberos in DCE sends a bunch of
   fields with indefinite length encoding rather than definite length
   encoding.

.... and this is a bug that's going to be fixed ASAP, right?  :-)
