Okay.  BTW, found another bug:

In krb5_rc_resolve_full() there is:

    if ((retval = krb5_rc_resolve_type(context, id,type))) {
        FREE(type);
        k5_mutex_destroy(&(*id)->lock);
        FREE(*id);
        return retval;
    }

however in krb5_rc_resolve_type() there is this:

    for (t = typehead;t && strcmp(t->ops->type,type);t = t->next)
    ;
    if (!t) {
        k5_mutex_unlock(&rc_typelist_lock);
        return KRB5_RC_TYPE_NOTFOUND;
    }

If return KRB5_RC_TYPE_NOTFOUND; is executed the krb5kdc will core dump on:

        k5_mutex_destroy(&(*id)->lock);

Note this occurred when I did:

krb5kdc -n -R FILE:/usr/local/krb_ldap/var/krb5kdc/rcache
