kinit is asking for a ticket with a lifetime of 141.  The resulting  
credentials come back with a lifetime of 255 (in the unencrypted  
part; the encrypted part may contain 141, for all I know).  I believe  
the KDC software is doing something wrong--not simply running old  
software which is unaware of the CMU lifetime algorithm, but actually  
munging the lifetime for some reason.

If you kinit -5 and then krb524init, you get tickets with the correct  
lifetime, so this is an issue with direct retrieval of krb4 tickets,  
not with converting krb5 tickets.
