Actually, on Solaris, mktime() fails in this case, returning -1.
krb5_string_to_timestamp() doesn't check for mktime() failing, and
passes back the -1; kinit, in turn, is expecting a 0 result to
indicate failure, so uses the -1 as the start time value. This
apparently triggers the "Cannot contact any KDC" error.
