I think we might see similar problems in krb5_string_to_timestamp,  
too.  Currently it ignores conversion errors (assumes that the pattern  
tried wasn't applicable so the next pattern should be tried).  The  
t_kerb test program can exercise krb5_string_to_timestamp, but we  
don't currently have it do so.
