gskeykex - Delete_sec_context() on re-key



I was reading through the secsh-gsskeyex draft again and it struck
me that when re-keying there is no message provision for passing back the 
possible token generated by a call to GSS_Delete_sec_context().

The result is that the protocol will leak unreachable context 
over a long session.

Has anyone hit this? I'm seeing something here where I think I'm 
exhausting the number of simultaneous contexts the GSS implementation
can handle.
