Yes, all these refer to the same issue.  The patch wasn't ever
backported to 4.1, but it does impact that series (and 4.0) as it is a
both a new feature with a dependency on a new library, and a bug fix,
depending on how you look at it.  My hope was that users who were
impacted could upgrade to 4.2.

I do realise that the situation regarding lack of Debian/Ubuntu packages
for 4.2 (related to the close coupling with Heimdal) makes this
difficult all-round.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
