Thanks, I checked both and found your message. It didn't quite look like
the same problem, but it does look like it's related to the linker. FYI,
I'm using gcc 2.95.3, though. Would installing GNU ld fix the problem,
or is it a problem with Solaris 7's ld.so?

Unfortunately, I can't upgrade this box from Solaris 7. Is the 1.3.x
line of Kerberos safe to use? Is Solaris 7 support deprecated from here
on out?

Thanks,

Derek
