[krbdev.mit.edu #3502] Cannot acquire initiator cred using gss_acquire_cred with explicit name on Windows

[Valerie Peng via RT]

Please ignore my previous email. I am not sure what went wrong before,
but things are working for me now.

I only have one more question - when will your fix be available?
When will the next MIT KFW release (assuming it has your fix of
course) available for download?

Thanks!
Valerie
