This is before my time, but I believe that MIT krb5 blacklists des-cbc-md5 
due to there once having been a deployed buggy implementation.  (I did not 
think Heimdal was affected, though.)
des-cbc-crc and des-cbc-md5 keys are usable equivalently by AFS, of 
course.

You did not say which version of OpenAFS the windows client runs.
