Hi Eric,

We are not aware of serious memory leaks in the Mac OS X Kerberos 
distribution.  Since Kerberos.app is shipped as part of Mac OS X, we 
would greatly appreciate it if you would please file your bug using 
the Apple Bug Reporter:

<http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/>

Please be as detailed as possible when you file the report.  Other 
information that would be useful to know would be:

* Exactly which version of Mac OS X 10.2 are you using?
* Do you leave the Kerberos.app window open?
* Do you usually have more than one principal authenticated?

And any other information about how you use Kerberos that you feel 
might be useful.

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.
