if you do something like this with heimdal you get mostly more relevant
error strings (and sometimes highly confusing once because we forget to
reset the error string). Not compile tested, but you get the idea:

      err_str = krb5_get_error_string(context);
      if (err_str == NULL)
      	  err_msg = krb5_get_err_text(context, code);
      else
          err_msg = err_str;
      if (err_msg == NULL)
	  err_msg = "<unknown error>";
      printf("here is the error message %s", err_msg);
      if (err_str)
         krb5_free_error_string(context, err_str);

The et-array is stored within the krb5_context, and not using the global
et array, this way we don't need to make libcom_err threadsafe.

Love
