BTW, I've also been wondering why hamerkop has been failing
isolation-check in the 12 and 13 branches for the last six months
or so. It is surely unrelated to this issue, and it looks like
it must be due to some platform change rather than anything we
committed at the time.
Possibly. It looks like this might be the issue:
+Connection 2 failed: could not initiate GSSAPI security context: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information: Credential cache is empty
+FATAL: sorry, too many clients already
There are several questions here, including:
1. why isn't it failing on later branches?
2. why isn't it failing on drongo (which has more modern compiler and OS)?
I think we'll need the help of the animal owner to dig into the issue.
I'm not planning on looking into that question myself, but really
somebody ought to. Or is Windows just as dead as AIX, in terms of
anybody being willing to put effort into supporting it?
Well, this is more or less where I came in back in about 2002 :-) I've been trying to help support it ever since, mainly motivated by stubborn persistence than anything else. Still, I agree that the lack of support for the Windows port from Microsoft over the years has been more than disappointing.
