Assertion failed!

I've tried both 4.0.7 and 4.1.6 on both Win XP Pro SP2, and Vista Ultimate 64bit. Every configuration on XP works fine. I am currently authenticating on a Kerberos GSSAPI protocol prior to connecting with WinSCP to our 'nix servers.

The Assertion failed message is as follows:

Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe
File: r:\pismere\athena\auth\krb5\src\include\k5-thread.h
Line: 662

Expression: m->is_locked == 0

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.

============

Then after I choose abort and re-open the program, and try to connect again I get this error:

Invalid access to memory.

Authentication log (see session log for details):
Using username "xxxxxx".

Authentication failed.

===============

Finally below I have included the log files for you to see.

I am having the exact same problem win WinSCP 4.0.7 on Windows Vista SP1 with MIT Kerberos for Windows 3.2.2. The problem does not occur with any of the 4.1.x series because they use the Qwest version of GSSAPI which only works under SSPI and I am not a part of an Active Directory Domain. I have had many problems trying to get Putty to work with GSSAPI and I believe that WinSCP shares the same code. The only reliable version of Putty I have found that works 100% of the time with MIT KfW is at <invalid link removed> This version is digitally signed by Secure Endpoints on Dec. '07 who also signs MIT KfW and is the newest version of Putty I can find that is patched to support GSSAPI with MIT KfW. There are older patches for 0.59 and 0.58 including ones signed by Secure Endpoints that have a tendency of crashing or not working. Since all other other applications including Putty and Firefox now work with my install of MIT KfW I assume the bug is originating somewhere in WinSCP and is probably a bug that was once in Putty.

Can you try the latest development snapshot of PuTTY? It includes their own implementation of GSSAPI.
