Possibly. It looks like this might be the issue:

+Connection 2 failed: could not initiate GSSAPI security context: Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information: Credential cache is empty
+FATAL:  sorry, too many clients already


There are several questions here, including:

1. why isn't it failing on later branches?
2. why isn't it failing on drongo (which has more modern compiler and OS)?

I think we'll need the help of the animal owner to dig into the issue.

Well, this is more or less where I came in back in about 2002 :-) I've 
been trying to help support it ever since, mainly motivated by stubborn 
persistence than anything else. Still, I agree that the lack of support 
for the Windows port from Microsoft over the years has been more than 
disappointing.
