Firstly, there's now a patch available for 3.6.1p2. I'd recommend using this instead of the older patches, as it fixes a number of issues which may cause interop problems with other vendors GSSAPI code.

When you say "works fine", do you mean that you successfully get a GSSAPI session, or just that they program no longer gives a SIGBUS.

I suspect that what you're seeing is a knock-on failure from the GSSAPI client library failing due to the lack of a configuration file. If the GSSAPI library doesn't modify the value of its output variables in a failure state, its possible that the patches, as they stand, may try to free unallocated memory.

I'm currently testing a fix for the 3.6.1p2 patches to solve this.

Do you need help?
