Avoid crash in MIT Kerberos for Windows on session restart.
A user reports that if you have MIT KfW loaded, and your PuTTY session terminates without the PuTTY process exiting, and you select 'Restart Session' from the menu, then a crash occurs inside the Kerberos library itself. Scuttlebutt on the Internet suggested this might be to do with unloading and then reloading the DLL within the process lifetime, which indeed we were doing. Now we avoid doing that for the KfW library in particular, by keeping a tree234 of module handles marked 'never unload this'. This is a workaround at best, but it seems to stop the problem happening in my own tests.
