The underlying problem is that kerberos 4 includes bits of 3 and makes unwarranted assumptions about the compatibility of doing so (in particular, if memory serves, using kerberos 3 headers for OpenSSL libraries). I'm not sure how its best to fix this, but when I was looking it did seem to me to be clearly a bug in kerberos.
