I suspect you are being bitten by a problem with the multi-realm
support in 1.4.11.   The src/util directory is not being compiled
with the correct environment variable set so the cross-realm support
is failing.  The quick fix is to remove the

  #if     defined(AFS_ATHENA_STDENV) || defined(AFS_KERBREALM_ENV)
  #endif

pair in src/util/get_krbrlm.c fs_is_foreign_ticket_name()
