We were successfully running a 1.2.x version of kaserver on SPARC Solaris,
and upgrading to 1.4.2 on Linux failed (albeit with different symptoms; it
would just stop successfully giving out tickets for a while and then come
back, regularly), so we stuck with 1.2.x on SPARC until we turned it off
entirely.
