  While playing with this patch under 8.1.2 at home I discovered a
  mistake in how I manually applied one of the hunks to fe-auth.c.
  Basically, the base code had changed and so the patch needed to be
  modified slightly.  This is because the code no longer either has a
  freeable pointer under 'name' or has 'name' as NULL.
  The attached patch correctly frees the string from pg_krb5_authname
  (where it had been strdup'd) if and only if pg_krb5_authname returned
  a string (as opposed to falling through and having name be set using
  name = pw->name;).  Also added a comment to this effect.
  Please review.
