I'd like to know of any cases like that you run into, if it's a 
single-threaded program, or if it's a multi-threaded program *and* you 
configured the Kerberos build with --enable-thread-support.  That 
option may not be present in our next release, so don't advertise it 
too much.

If it's a multi-threaded program and the thread support isn't turned 
on, then assertion failures are the correct result, for the current 
snapshots.  The debug code is still switched on in that case to help me 
find cases where locks are accidentally left locked, or don't get 
initialized properly, etc.
