Description

We met this issue in our test cluster, the ouput info is just like below:

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

k5_mutex_lock: Received error 22 (Invalid argument)

kudu-master: ../../../include/k5-thread.h:376: k5_mutex_lock: Assertion `r == 0' failed

...

SIGARBORT ...

...

Aborted (core dumped)

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

After some analysis, we found that the krb5-lib we are using is 1.16.1 and it seems it has a bug: https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.16/

So, we switched the krb5-lib to version 1.17.x and the crash was gone.

Here I file this jira for the users who would meet this issue.
