Hi Benno.  My mistake, gnulib's release scripts allows alpha, beta and
stable as targets, and I thought only alpha ended up on alpha.gnu.org,
but it seems beta also ends up there.  I have uploaded it to ftp.gnu.org
now, will probably take a while until all mirrors has it.

I'm preparing a fix now, so the gss.pot file now looks like below.  I'll
probably do a 1.0.5 with some minor fixes in the following week, so you
may hold the announcement if you want...

#: src/gss.c:87
msgid ""

"                    Accept a security context as server.\n"

"                    will be acquired.  Use \"*\" to use library\n"
"                    default mechanism.\n"
