I note that posting a patch to the developers' list is generally
viweed as a request to discuss the patch.  If you actually would
like to contribute a patch for an issue, you must submit it
using the Issue Tracking System.  Don't submit "super" patches,
one issue per patch. See <http://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html>.

The main reason for using the Issue Tracking System over a discussion
list for submissions is that things often get lost in lists (especially
when the list or key developers are busy).

Perhaps, but given that its only been approximate one day since
your post to the developers' list, more likely folks are a bit
busy at the moment.

And to the original poster:  MIT krb5 libraries are not thread
safe... suggest you use Hiemdal instead.
