I'm not sure what you're asking. The commit in question fixes several
code hygene problems; it does not add any new interfaces, and the only
fixes are related to memory safety.

I guess the answer is that I didn't know there was a bug? Have you
filed something in the krb5 bugtracker? I don't see any linked from
your bugzilla, just the workaround.
