Thanks for checking.  Yes, the server that had libkrb5.so.1 on it
works fine with the 1.6.5 binaries, it appears.  I'm wondering
somehow the error I got was somehow related to a strange consequence
of ONLY copying this library, and perhaps in isolation, the
library didn't work right.  Certainly what I did was not "best practice."

In any case, on the machine from which I copied the .so.1, 
(which works fine with 1.6.5), it has:

$ ls -l libkr*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          14 Aug  1  2009 libkrb5.so -> ./libkrb5.so.1
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        21504 Aug 14  2007 libkrb5.so.1
$ /usr/ccs/bin/nm libkrb5.so.1 | grep krb5_free_keytab
[212]   |         0|       0|FUNC |GLOB |0    |ABS    |krb5_free_keytab_entry_contents

I'm waiting for the server that caused problems to be upgraded.
Perhaps the sysadmin is on vacation before the fall semester rush starts.
I'll let you know whether 1.6.5 works on the upgraded machine.

Best regards,
John
