We've run into a bug in KFW. Our network has so many DNS servers that it 
overruns the buffer in  res_quer.c . I have never been able to compile the 
entire project following the instructions provided at web.mit.edu/kerberos 
or 
http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Kerberos_for_Windows_%28KfW%29_Build_Environment 
. I have gotten as far as getting the wshelp32.dll to compile and the code 
changes to resolve the issue.

The fix for the bug in res_quer.c file was provided by Sine Nominee. If 
you you could add this fix into your binaries it would be appreciated.
