Athena 9.2.7 Linux: odd console message

When I got in today, this message was in my console window:

00:32 Jul  3 00:32:21 all-in-one perl: No worthy mechs found

It looks like "from" dumps errors onto the console.  At 00:32, though,
I was at home, so I wouldn't see console messages.

Not only that, but it crashes:

% env KRBTKFILE=/tmp/tkt_pts_00000 from 
from: Cannot authenticate to PO9.MIT.EDU
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
% where from
/usr/athena/bin/from
%

and in the console window:

18:25 Jul  3 18:25:50 all-in-one perl: krb_mk_req() failed: You have no tickets cached (76)
18:25 Jul  3 18:25:50 all-in-one perl: No worthy mechs found

I don't know what error happened at 00:32.  It was probably expired
tickets, though I don't know why that wouldn't produce an extra
message from krb_mk_req like not having tickets did.

(a) These messages should probably be going to stderr, if anywhere.
(b) It shouldn't crash.
