I haven't actually looked at any of the code, but the code-cut Athena
is running started to see this problem (fortunately we don't depend on
the krb5 stuff for anything).
I _did_ notice that using a kerberos-current or kerberos-b5 kinit
works fine against the same server that fails, so this at least
suggest its exclusively a client problem (harder to fix!).
Beta5 does not seem to have this problem (not surprisingly, given the
above paragraph), and the beta3+SNLsecurid server I have handy also
doesn't exhibit this problem.
This isn't much, but perhaps it'll give you something to against.
