Nothing has changed about when it fails, only the extra krb error
message before the usual error messages (could not connect, server is
starting up) are new. This probably has something to do with Magnus's
work on concatenating rather than hiding error messages across multiple
passes.

I see this on Mac and Linux, so it should be reproducible with any
Kerberos-enabled build.
