Rodney, it seems to me like it would be trivial to have kinit call aklog
after it's gotten you a TGT.  Didn't you even consider trying that?  And
have you heard the phrase, "If you're not part of the solution, you're
part of the problem?"

I suspect the problem is related to the fact that some versions of the
524 library wouldn't accept an addressless v5 TGT.
