Unfortunately, far more administrators don't know the proper case.
Active Directory forces to upper case, and creates little distinction in
the administrators minds between lower case dns domains and upper case
realms.  If we were to apply this patch, many existing sites would
break, while others would have to chase down strange and unusual errors
like 'reply from KDC does not match expections' trying to make things
work. 

The solution for your use in an MIT realm (I presume) will need
particular care.  

I'm sorry it's not so simple,
