If you don't carefully manage your KRB5CCNAME, there is the potential
that gss_acquire_cred_with_password() might succeed without making an
AS request, and the creds you have might verify correctly even though
the password was never used.
I guess that's not "completely broken" as it's possible to work around,
but it's dangerous, and it requires mechanism-specific application
knowledge or configuration to avoid.
