It's a bug. PostgreSQL properly supports using different authentication credentials across seperate pg_connect()'s for all of the other authentication types. The only reason it doesn't for Kerberos is because of improper use of static variables which aren't reset between the authentication requests. The patch fixes this and cleans up the static variable handling. Thanks, Stephen
