Ok.  This issue is definitely not a showstopper; you should feel
free to release krb5-1.8.  I've managed to find the offending
code, it's not in krb5-1.8 at all, and I now have a fixed version
that works without incident.

The code that was failing for me is *not* any version of mit kerberos;
it's separate code which decodes kerberos 5 data using openssl asn.1
logic.  The advantage is that it might catch problems that escaped your
testing; the disadvantage is those problems might be its own problems.
So far, it caught one problem for you, and scored one problem of its own.
Sorry for the confusion; the tight schedule you have didn't give me much
time to get my ducks in a row.

So the main concern I have at this point is it's not clear to me whatever
this is has good documentation, &etc.  I'm now more or less convinced
that S4U2Self and S4U2Proxy aren't ietf draft standards, but at least
I found http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Projects/Services4User .
