4.5. "Initial Ticket response appears to be Version 4 error"

This means that the reply to a message sent to the KDC didn't make any
sense, but it seemed to bear a remarkable resemblance to a Kerberos 4 error
packet.

This means that your Kerberos 5 program is trying to talk to a Kerberos 4
KDC. While Kerberos 5 is compatible with Kerberos 4, the compatibility is
only one-way. Kerberos 4 clients can talk to an appropriately configured
Kerberos 5 KDC, but Kerberos 5 clients cannot talk to a Kerberos 4 KDC.
