Has anyone successfully run Kerberos in a multi-thread program?
We are trying to link V5 Beta 5 Kerberos library (from MIT) with a 
multi-thread application program. According to some hints from the 
manual of <<Kerberos V5 application programming library>>, the Kerberos
V5 library might be made thread-safe although it doesn't say how to 
make the library thread safe. We compiled and linked the MIT Kerberos 
V5 Beta 5 source code as well as our own source code with the option 
-mt in a solaris 2.4 platform. However, we couldn't make our 
multi-thread program work correctly. We doubt that our V5 library is 
thread-safe. We are seeking any advices on thread-safe Kerberos V5 
library. Any suggestions on this will be appreciated. Please post 
your discussion/answer here.

Thanks in advance.
