> For interoperability, AP-REQ decryption uses the key with the highest kvno in the keytab if no exact match is found. If decryption fails, a normal "checksum failed" error is reported, which may hide the real cause that the wrong key is used. This code change throws a KRB_AP_ERR_BADKEYVER error in this case.
> 
> The change is only made in AP-REQ decryption to minimize impact. A previous test is enhanced to cover the case.
