The MIT Kerberos 4 release. (I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin Fall
renamed those files for his other Berkeley Kerberos work, but I don't
know for sure.)

As has been discussed before, anything with file names long enough to
get "mangled" by ar rather than truncating will cause the linker to
barf. ar is self-consistent, but ld has never dealt with the long
names.
