Yeah, that's what we did at OpenVision. Basically, we kludged
ZMakeAscii so that it would use a 7bytes->8bytes encoding (instead of
the current 4bytes->11bytes!) for buffers larger than 16 bytes. This
means that an old server, zhm, or client can handle all the fields but
the authenticator. ZReadAscii() was changed to deal with both
formats.
Unfortunately, nobody who cares is at OV anymore, although the code
may be world-readable in AFS.
