Problems with kadmind, kpasswd and cross-realm authentication

Unfortunately I'm not necessarily familiar enough to know if I'm seeing the
"correct" tickets. I am seeing 6 packets with the first 4 are directed
to/from port 88 and the last 2 directed to/from 464:
PKT 1: Client Name (Principal): brocka, Realm: STERLINGCGI.COM, Server Name
(Principal): kadmin/changepw, KRB5 AS-REQ
PKT 2: Client Name (Principal): brocka, Realm: STERLINGCGI.COM, Server Name
(Principal): kadmin/changepw, KRB5 KRB Error: KRB5KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_REQUIRED
PKT 3: Client Name (Principal): brocka, Realm: STERLINGCGI.COM, Server Name
(Principal): kadmin/changepw, KRB5 AS-REQ
PKT 4: Client Name (Principal): brocka, Realm: STERLINGCGI.COM, Server Name
(Principal): kadmin/changepw, KRB5 AS-REP
Then I see:
PKT 5: Tkt-vno: 5, Realm: STERLINGCGI.COM, Server Name (Principal):
kadmin/changepw, KPASSWD Reply
PKT 6: KPASSWD Reply[Malformed Packet]
It's interesting to note that I can see in the "text" field of wireshark for
the "[Malformed Packet: Kpasswd]" the words "SCGROUP.ORG", "kadmin",
"changepw" and "Failed reading application request". However, obviously,
wireshark didn't seem to understand the contents of the packet. Other than
this anomaly, the REALM looks good to me.
I'm also attaching a "text" export of the packet capture from wireshark.
