Odd Kermit Kerberos problem

I encountered a very odd problem with Kermit and Kerberized
telnet today.  I tried to use kermit to connect to a host:

  $ kermit -J serverhost
   DNS Lookup...  Trying 192.168.1.23...  Reverse DNS Lookup... (OK)
  No credentials found with supported encryption types while authorizing (3).
  Authentication failed: No authentication method available

This was odd because I had just Kerberized using /usr/bin/telnet to a
different host.  I tried serverhost with telnet, it Kerberized without
a problem, then tried Kermit again, and it now could Kerberize without
a problem.

Environment is NetBSD 1.5.2, with MIT libraries and KDC.

Any idea what might be going on here?
