Any locker software linked against the libkrb4 in 9.1 or earlier will
show this on startup, due to code in libkrb4 that was changed for 9.2.
Unfortunately, as things stand currently, 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2 all use a
$ATHENA_SYS value of i386_linux24, and producing binaries that link
against krb4, don't produce this error, and run on all of 9.0, 9.1, and
9.2 ends up being fairly involved: it involves compiling your own
libkrb4 from the Athena mainline on a 9.1 machine, and then statically
linking; the resulting binary should run on 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2 machines.
I did this for xzul.
This will get easier in 9.2.5, where we'll be changing the value of
$ATHENA_SYS to i386_rh9.
