Just to close the loop on this one. We found that the conflicting DLL (Krb5_32.dl) was put into C:\windows\sysWOW64 by a Library program called ALEPH. Apparently it is a somewhat commonly used Library system so this knowledge might help others who run into similar issues.

This is really old.  It predates KFW 3.0.

SysWOW64 is the directory used to hold files the were written to
System32 by 32-bit processes on 64-bit Windows.

That makes sense because the DLL is in the search path and gssapi32.dll
is not linked to krb5_32.dll with an assembly manifest.  Therefore, the
first matching file on the PATH will be used.
