thread safety of gssapi and dependencies

Hi,

I was wondering what the thread safety situation is with ligss and
underlying libraries.

We intend to use these apps in heavily threaded applications
(including middle tier servers that act as both security context
initiators and acceptors).

We seem to be running in to KRB5_FCC_INTERNAL "Internal credentials
cache error" with the 1.2.2 distribution. We're currently porting to
1.2.6. However, I don't see anything in the release notes that would
indicate 1.2.6 would change this situation much.

I haven't looked at the specifics of these errors at this point. I will
shortly, but I thought I'd throw the question out there for now.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.
