  I cannot duplicate this problem.  When I attempt to run rmail or
mh-rmail, in either /usr/athena/emacs or the emacsdev emacs, with
expired kerberos tickets, I get "int: Post office refused connection:
Ticket expired (krb_rd_req)" in the case of mh-rmail, and "movemail:
kerberos error: Ticket expired (krb_rd_req)" in the case of rmail.

  If this happens reliably to you, you'll have to demonstrate it to me
and figure out wehy it happens to you and not to me....

   System name:		lycus
   Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2R
   Display type:		SM

   What were you trying to do?
	   read mail.

   What's wrong:
	   My tickets had expired.  The old pop servers gave emacs/movemail
   an error like -ERR: tickets expired.

   The new servers give "movemail: connection closed" and beep the terminal.

   What should have happened:
	   I should have gotten a reasonable error message.

   Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	   ???
