[krbdev.mit.edu #3502] Cannot acquire initiator cred using gss_acquire_cred with explicit name on Windows

[Valerie Peng via RT]

I corrected the length of name_val so that it uses strlen(..) which
should not include the trailing null, but the result is the same.

Maybe you could send me the src of your gss_acquire_cred_test
so I can compare and check.

Thanks!
