Thanks!

I think freeing the events is dangerous, as it leaves broken pointers
around.

I integrated it without freeing the events and your krb5 ticket patch
in this branch:
http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=metze/samba/wip.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master3-tevent3

It would be nice if you could test if that branch fixes still fixes all
the problems you wanted to resolve.
