Issue with kvno

[Benjamin Kaduk]

I don't have a definite answer for you, but:

1.7 is very old.

4294967295 is 0xffffffff is -1 as a 32-bit twos-complement integer

255 is 0xff is -1 as an 8-bit twos-complement integer.

kvnos are supposed to be unsigned integers, but krb5 prior to 1.10 (and
evern moreso prior to 1.6) had bugs where they were treated as signed
quantities.
