I believe this problem applies to the replay records created by 
krb5_mk_cred, krb5_rd_cred, krb5_mk_safe, krb5_rd_safe, krb5_mk_priv, 
and krb5_rd_priv.

Mixing in the client name would not entirely fix the problem.  Multiple 
agents of the same client could create messages at the same time.  For 
AP exchanges, we found a way to add a hash of the encrypted 
authenticator to the replay record.  That should also work for _cred 
and _priv, though not necessarily _safe as there is no confounder to 
make the messages unique.
