There isn't anything to hunt down -- I know what the problem is, which is
that if the initial authentication fails, k5start will exit, but it should
keep running and keep retrying.  I think this is already fixed in Git, and
just requires a new release.  However, with a job change that's been
interesting but much more time-consuming (and less focused on Kerberos)
than I had expected, I've had almost no time to work on k5start.

I still hope to get a new release out with this fix, but I don't know
when.  Sorry.  :/
