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.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
