Description of changes:

[1.6.1-17.el5_1.1]

- add preliminary patch to fix incorrect handling of high-numbered 
descriptors
  in the RPC library (CVE-2008-0947) (#433596)
- fix storage of delegated krb5 credentials when they've been wrapped up in
  spnego (#436460)
- return a delegated credential handle even if the application didn't pass a
  location to store the flags which would be used to indicate that 
credentials
  were delegated (#436465)
- add patch to fall back to TCP kpasswd servers for kdc-unreachable,
  can't-resolve-server, and response-too-big errors (#436467)

- backport from 1.6.3 to initialize a library-allocated get_init_creds_opt
