I have seen this problem, too, but far less frequently than you have
observed. We have been running a modified x11r4 xdm for several months
now. I noticed that root sometimes got the tokens. So I modified the
code to setuid to the user, authenticate, and setuid back to root. The
code later switches back to the user. Maybe this didn't change anything
at all. If your limit theory is true, my code would appear to work
simply because I restarted xdm.
But this seemed to have fixed the problem...until today someone called
and couldn't get in. ka_UserAuthenticateGeneral said ok, but no tokens.
I'm on an RS/6000 running AFS 3.1b.
