Hm, after going back through the thread, I can't tell specifically if it is 
actually the refresh or the expiration that caused the problem, because the 
user set it to a 5 minute ticket with a 4 minute refresh to demonstrate the 
issue.

I myself do not use MIT kerberos for my OpenLDAP servers, so reproducing 
this in my environment would take a bit of work.  I'm currently lacking the 
internal development environment where I'd usually test such things. :/

I can get in contact with the user who reported the issue, and see what 
additional data they can gather, if you like.
