Ok, thanks. I was able to work around my problem by statically linking
my gssd against libraries built from vanilla Heimdal sources. It looks
like it inherited the heimdal-0.6 bug, which ignores the lack of the
GSS_C_SEQUENCE_FLAG and checks it even if it wasn't specified. This
breaks the client side of RPCSEC_GSS, since somewhat out-of-order
Sun RPCs, is normal. (RPCSEC_GSS uses a window of recent seq#s to
protect against replay attempts.)

Should I email Doug or submit a bug report, to see if someone is willing
to work on fixing this?

Thanks again, rick
