Anyone know of fixes for these problems?

We've been working with K5 Beta 4 release 3 for about a year now (off
and on) and now have many of the kerberized utilities working fairly
well on many of our platforms. We've tracked down and fixed quite a
few problems especially on our Cray, SGIs, and Alphas, especially in
the utilities and daemons. We passed these mods back to MIT last
September.
We still see a few problems and are in the process of deciding how to
proceed, ie wait for and install K5B6, try K5B5, or continue working
with our modified version of K5B4. K5B6 should have many of our mods
and both K5B5 and K5B6 will have many improvements.
The following is a list of the more significant problems we currently
see. For many of these, our best bet may be to wait for K5B6 and then
work with that. But if localized mods are available in K5B5 or from
the community, we may want to integrate those changes into our
version.
A krlogin -x connection from an Alpha to a Sun gets an immediately
close (I believe a read size error occurs); to our Cray
authentication fails (it prompts for a password), but it does
function.
Using the Alpha kerberos telnetd, environment variable 'term' is
set to 'su'. (This seems to be new, possibly caused by something in
our environment.)
Using ktelnet/ktelnetd logging into an Alpha, even after setting term
to 'xterm', vi only displays 8 lines (altho 'man' and other programs
recognize the correct size).
The SGI version of kerberos telnetd and krlogind do not update wtmp
correctly. Output from 'last' is not completely accurate. (We've
made some changes to get this working better, but it is still not
completely right.)
Using SGI ktelnet, double control-Cs causes a disconnect (at least
when connected to our Cray).
Using the SGI ktelnet to a Sun, the file completion function does
not work (where one types escape and a partial file name should be
filled in).
krcp is not yet operational for us on some platforms; Alphas, in
particular, I believe.
Are any of these known to have been fixed in K5B5 (or elsewhere)?
Thanks.
