Bug#413846: Acknowledgement (openssh-client: post-4.3p2-6 openssh gets kerberos-related hang (non-root only))

[Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>]

Colin,

You asked for details, so I've dug a little more.

I had an active Kerberos ticket for a domain that was currently only
partially accessible (VPN is up only some of the time, and sometimes there
are only partial routes).  When I run kdestroy, it removes the file in
/tmp that ssh was reading from (to get the name of the unreachable system
it hung on, while trying to "sendto").  Once that file, /tmp/krb5cc_1000,
was removed, ssh no longer needed the -o 'GSSAPIAuthentication no'
option to work properly.

Is that enough to go on?
