Oh, by the way, meanwhile if you've got a moment there's a simple test
you could try for me:

	 echo `date +'%s'` >/proc/net/rpc/auth.rpcsec.context/flush

and report the reference count before and after.

That should flush all gss contexts from the cache, but existing clients
should be able to establish new contexts automatically, so there
shouldn't be any disruption of service.
