I call get_init_creds_password:

krb5_get_init_creds_password(     ctx,
                                  &m_clientCreds,
                                  clientPrincipal,
                                  (char * )szPassword.c_str(),
                                  NULL, NULL, 0, NULL,
                                  &options ) );

And later I do:
 krb5_free_cred_contents( ctx, &m_clientCreds );
and:
 krb5_free_principal( ctx, clientPrincipal );

I am using valgrind-2.2.0-1 to find this issue.

After talking with Sam Hartman it seems this is happening mainly to me,
and not in the standard kinit code.  I am thinking that some API call's
I've made prior to this one is perhaps setting me up for failure.

I will see if I can hunt it down.
