For bug-moira: in addition to the bug below, the update_client code
doesn't DTRT with com_err and ends up returning bogus error messages.

The actual error was either ``Couldn't access ticket file'' or
``Couldn't lock ticket file'' (I'm not sure if I'm supposed to count
them from 0 or 1), but anyway, given that and looking at when it
happened, the problem is that one dcm was kinit'ing just as another
was trying to krb_mk_req to the update_server.

So anyway, there's no real problem, and it shouldn't happen again, at
least not very often. (and someday maybe I'll fix all of the things
I've been reporting to bug-moira :)
