Perhaps you should add a comment about the need of unicity at the top
of 001_auth.pl with a short description of the test?

Thanks for addressing all that feedback. Parallel runs look more
stable on my side. At least it seems that I can re-enable it safely.

+ calling gss_init_sec_context() in a loop and sending the result to the
Some markups should be added here for all function names. Not all the
clients use C either, so you may want to say "or equivalent"?

If you could rework a bit the indentation of the new code added in
kerberos/t/001_auth.pl that would be nice. I am afraid that the
current format makes debugging harder than necessary.

A reload should be enough but not race-condition free, which is why a
set of restarts is done in this test right? (I have noticed that it
is done this way since the beginning.)
