Description 
The GSSAPI library (libgss) and Kerberos mechanism (mech_krb5.so.1) should not use 'fopen' since it fails whenever a process already has > 255 file descriptors opened.

This is due to an old and well-known limitation on the 'fopen' function due to the FILE structure only supporting a single-byte for the actual FD.
