problem with the kinit_prompter in kfw 2.5

I have hard time to get the posix prompter to run under kfw 2.5. Here is the 
scenario:
- kfw 2.5 on Windows 2000/XP (with all the service packs/hotfixes/patches)
- user with the expired password tries to initialized tickets v.5 via kinit:

	kinit -5

The result of the above is 
 "Cannot find KDC for requested realm" (KRB5_REALM_UNKNOWN (-1765328230L).
Shouldn't it run knit_prompter instead (which eventually should call 
krb5_prompter_posix) giving user an opportunity to change the password? At 
least that is what used to happen in previous version (kfw 2.1.2 for sure). Am 
I missing something here?

Thanks,
Beata
