Details:

Hi, 
during a test I ran into a dead lock. 

I started 1.500 clients doing kerberos authentication and the server emitted
messages like:

User authentication failed; Seckrb5: Unable to authenticate credentials;;
Request is a replay (p=host/<removed>@CERN.CH)

After this all 1024 threads were locked up waiting for the kerberos
authentication mutex.
