Good news.  In the above paragraph I was testing my change incorrectly - threw
the new binary on a system running unpatched libraries.  When run correctly,
it successfully produced something that looks like a correct dump in MIT format.
I haven't yet tried to load it into MIT kdc yet, though.

I will finalize the branch promptly and share it.  The above experience also
indicated that I need to do a library version bump.
