Hi,

Our authentication application developed using MIT kerberos crashed in 
multi-thread environment on Windows. I found this post which describes 
the same problem as we were seeing. The post was dated Nov,2005. Has 
this problem been resolved in latest Kerberos library. If not, is there 
work around?

"Using the MEMORY credentials cache from multiple threads is not 
thread-safe and crashes."

Any suggestions are appreciated,

Hong
