I think the issue is that if you do something like:

    kinit -l 1d -r 1d princname

you no longer get a renewable ticket.  Then, when you go to renew the
ticket, you get an error.  Although there's no practical reason (that I
know of) to renew tickets without extending their lifetimes, I could see
this situation arising as an edge case in some kinds of scripts.  I
didn't anticipate that possibility when making the KDC change in 1.12.
