Note that this is only on MIT Kerberos 1.17 on Debian. I will first try 
to compile 1.19.1 and test that. Let me get back to you in a couple of days.
Would it be sufficient to printf()

reat and errno to std stream?

Using acquire_cred_from() seems to work on Debian, but I also see a 
little overhead (< 5 %).

Do you know of the top of your head whether there have been any 
concurrency fixes in this regard after 1.17?
