>Description:
	If you are using GSSAPI to negotiate, e.g. IPsec, the
	negotiations will begin to fail if root logs in and runs
	kinit(1).  This, I think, is counter-intuitive behaviour.
	(Of course, since I am running NFS over IPsec, the first
	symptom that I saw was NFS hanging, but...)
>How-To-Repeat:
	Use GSSAPI w/ racoon or imapd and note that if root performs
	a kinit(1) with the CC in the default location then these
	services begin to fail, claiming that they can't find the
	right principal.
>Fix:
	I think that the right fix is for the GSSAPI code to if it
	is looking for a specific principal to continue to search
	beyond the credentials cache if the cache contains the
	wrong principal.  This is a quick patch which I haven't
	tested but include as a suggestion of how to fix it for
	comment.  If this is generally considered a good start,
	then I shall fix it up, test it and check it in.  Most
	notably, I have not yet paid attention to cleanup and
	memory allocation issues.
