This error message corresponds to the code ECONNRESET.  Such an error
can originate from a socket call, or from the krb5 library if the
connection is closed at an unexpected point in the krb5_sendauth
conversation.

A packet trace from the master's perspective could be enlightening.
Stepping through the kprop code could yield the same information, but
might not be as easy to carry out.

These messages pertain to acquiring tickets, but don't say anything
about the AP-REQ/AP-REP exchange between the master and slave.
