Error 24 is preauth failed in KRB_ERROR protocol messages, but *not*
in a library return value.  Library return values have their own
error table distinct from the KRB_ERROR protocol, and, as Nico
said, positive library return values are system errno's, Kerberos
errors are large (in magnitude) negative numbers.
