[Perlgssapi-developer] Warning cropping up...

So this is the diff:

That seems entirely reasonable, but guess what? This is what my test
server now does :

SERVER::waiting for request ...
SERVER::accepted connection from client ...
SERVER::received token (length is 459):
SERVER::authenticated client name is me...@is...
SERVER::Have mutual token to send ...
SERVER::GSS token size: 114
SERVER::sent token (length is 114)
failed gss_delete_sec_context() module Context.xs at gss-server.pl line 128.

and my test client too:

CLIENT::gss_init_sec_context success
CLIENT::going to identify client to server
CLIENT::have token to send ...
CLIENT::GSS token length is 459
CLIENT::sent token to server
CLIENT::Mutual auth requested ...
CLIENT::got mutual auth token from server
CLIENT::mutual auth token length is 114
CLIENT::gss_init_sec_context success
CLIENT::confirmed server identity from mutual token
CLIENT::authenticated server name is krbping/xx...@is...
failed gss_delete_sec_context() module Context.xs, <GEN0> line 1.

Mmmmmmmm. I shall be looking through the gssapi docs. 

Googling gives me this tasty bit of code :

     maj_stat = gss_delete_sec_context(&min_stat, &context, &out_buf);
     if (maj_stat != GSS_S_COMPLETE) {
          display_status("deleting context", maj_stat, min_stat);
          (void) close(s);
          (void) gss_delete_sec_context(&min_stat, &context, GSS_C_NO_BUFFER);
          return -1;
     }

yummy. How very odd...

Other then that it all seems to be working without any issues. That's
something at least. :-)

Cheers,
