KDC core dumping on Solaris 7

[Graeme Wood <jaw@ucs.ed.ac.uk>]

I am having problems running version 0.2q of heimdal. It compiles and the
kdc will startup ok but if I try to use kpasswd or use kadmin in non-local
mode, the kdc dies with an alignment error and dumps core. A stack trace
shows the problem to be in a call to malloc from der_get_octet_string. Has
anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Here is the stack trace:

I have tried compiling with both gcc 2.8.1 and Sun C 5.0 and it seems to
make no difference.
