Bug or feature in c-client. As Joe already explained in the RH bug
report, the first thing auth_gssapi_client does is to disable any
retry:

auth_gss.c:98 (2007e)
  *trial = 65535;		/* never retry */

Please get an explanation in the UW mailing list but there is nothing
PHP can do about that.

The authentication method is compiled in cclient. Are you sure your
cclient package supports kerberos or GSS?

For windows, I'm verifying that it works with 5.3.0 (we use the latest
c-client for 5.3+).

Same bug, on version 5.2.0 (Debian/stable), when trying to connect to
Exchange.

Please PHP developers, fix this bug since there are no other elegant
methods to connect Exchange 2007 than imap_open. Implement
authentication method attribute to IMAP_OPEN or make it automatically
use multiple methods.
