After two weeks, Bruce and I were finally able to catch up in person.

I've reproduced this on 3.7-rc5 using cthon basic tests.  The first getacl operation fails because it's mistakenly attempting to set up a fresh GSS context on a transport where one already exists.  That's in line with the kind of change that's in commit ba9b584c1.

The failure occurs on the client just before the getacl request is issued, so you won't see any ACL-related network traffic in the failure case.  The failure prevents any ACL request from succeeding.

Anyway, I'll have a deeper look at this tomorrow.
