So having krb5_parse_name(krb5_unparse_name(p)) != p is bad, programs
should eat their own format. That said, see the new newly commited
lib/krb5/principal.c the test case for it (test_principal.c).

You should be able to pull over principal.c to 0.7.2 without too much  
effort
with some parts of krb5.h
