Now that the AFS and Kerberos Conference is over I have been able to
take a look at this issue.  The problem is that the Network Identity
Manager krb5 provider on 32-bit Windows is loading the MIT krbv4w32.dll
and krb524.dll libraries as requirements.  There is no krb4 support in
Heimdal 1.5.1 so these libraries do not exist.

Future versions of NetIdMgr and OpenAFS will not include krb4 support
and will work identically on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.

In the short term, a revised Heimdal 1.5.1 installer will include the
missing MIT DLLs in order to permit applications that depend on them to
function.
