I have a user running some batch files as scheduled jobs (aka cron jobs). 
He's noticed that after a period of time there will be several 
krbcc32s.exe processes running which never go away.

Under what conditions might this happen?

Are there cases where there SHOULD be more then one krb5cc32s.exe process?

The batch files run kinit -kt with a keytab/principal, then do what they 
need to do, then run kdestroy.  The NIM is never running (as far as I 
know).

The batch files (3) all use the same keytab and principal and currently 
define the KRB5CCNAME env var to the same value.  I've suggested they 
change that so at least each batch file uses a unique value... if not a 
unique value for each run of each batch file.
