You are right; the symptom I am seeing actually came back after this fix, and I
am still trying to track it down. (It was an extra '0' or '@' after the realm
name, but realm referrals are happening.. it is possibly somewhere beneath the
gssapi interface.)

I am using a gss impl derived from heimdal, and you're right; it does exactly
the malloc you spoke of. so my analysis was wrong. this is likely a benign bug.
