Its not Vista.  Its KFW 3.1 vs 3.2.  The GSSAPI implementation was 
replaced between those releases.  In 3.1 a single mechanism GSSAPI 
implementation was included.  In 3.2 a multi-mechanism implementation is 
included.   In 3.1 the GSSAPI could refuse to deallocate memory that 
wasn't allocated by the mechanism.  In 3.2 the GSSAPI does not.

plink/putty has a bug.  I know it has a bug because the bug was fixed a 
long time ago.  the bug was masked by KFW 3.1 and is not masked by 3.2.

Please get a new putty.
