1.5.2 is quite old and, IIRC, I've seen this before.  You can work
around it by adding the kdc name with a dot at the end as an alias in
the hosts file.

So, if your kdc is kdc1.example.com, then your /etc/hosts line should
look like this:

1.2.3.4		kdc1.example.com kdc1.example.com. kdc1

or something quite like that.
