The get_in_tkt code goes into a loop when it's told certain preauth  
data is needed, or a WRONG_REALM error is returned and it's told to  
try a different realm.  A counter is used to prevent it from retrying  
too long.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to provide much information  
beyond its inability to terminate the loop...  You may have to try a  
packet trace to see what it's doing.
