krb4 clients will seg fault in this case. (krb5 clients should deal
if written properly.) The problem is in a number of different krb4
library function implementations. When it came up before, I didn't
want to fix all of them due to the number of local changes it would
entail.
We should be going to krb5 1.0.5 for 8.3 (it doesn't look like 1.1
will be out in time), and if that doesn't fix the problem I guess
we'll try to make local fixes.
