GSS-API errors

I have several perl routines that use the Authen::Krb5::Admin module, 
which is linked with MIT K5 1.6.3 libraries.  When attempting multiple 
admin transactions, each of which involves a new connection to kadmind and 
which occur in rapid succession (many per second), my functions now and 
then (definitely NOT always) get back a GSS-API error (RC=46).

However no GSS-API errors are being logged by the KDC.  This makes me 
suspect a client library issue.  One consequence is that there's no more 
specific error message to work with.

Any ideas about how, at least, to track down the cause of these particular 
errors?  Is the mere attempt to make a couple of dozen or more kadmin 
connections per second likely to cause this problem?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Mike
