But just how is the PC Kerberos DLL supposed to change a password on a
Transarc Kerberos server? The Transarc Kaserver does not support the
MIT v4 password changing protocol.

Since UMich appears to run a Kaserver, it would appear that the users
would have to use a client which can speak the Transarc RX-based
password changing protocol. This would generally mean they have to
use a unix machine.
I still fail to see how preserving state is supposed to help matters.
At best, it's a short term band-aid for some problem that hasn't been
adequately explained. In any case, it has the potential, in the long
term, of making this string-to-key issue even more of a mess than it
currently is.
