Description Simon Wilkinson 2006-08-19 20:47:52 AEST 
When using GSSAPI libraries which support multiple mechanisms, it's helpful to pass the OID of the current mechanism into the display_error routine in order to get better error messages back. As both MIT and
Heimdal are moving towards supporting pluggable GSSAPI mechanisms, it would be good to fix this.

The attached two line patch against CVS resolves this problem (which was originally reported by Jim Basney)
