A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I found this bug in the bug_db.
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=7019384

The capaths section in the krb,conf file is still parsed incorrectly.
This is my cpatahs section:

[capaths]
QA.DOM = {
D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
QA100.QA.DOM = .
G1.D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
G1.D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = .
D201.D200.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
D201.D200.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D200.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
D200.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
}

output in 1_6_37: (The order is incorrect.)
>>> Realm parseCapaths [0]=QA.DOM
>>> Realm parseCapaths [1]=D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
>>> Realm parseCapaths [2]=D1.W2K8.CORP.ME

output in (build 1.7.0_21-b11): (intermidiate realm is missing).
>>> Realm parseCapaths [0]=QA.DOM
>>> Realm parseCapaths [1]=D1.W2K8.CORP.ME





STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
parse the following capaths:
[capaths]
QA.DOM = {
D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
QA100.QA.DOM = .
G1.D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
G1.D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = .
D201.D200.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
D201.D200.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D200.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
D200.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME = D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
}


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
>>> Realm parseCapaths [0]=QA.DOM
>>> Realm parseCapaths [2]=D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
>>> Realm parseCapaths [1]=D100.D1.W2K8.CORP.ME
ACTUAL -
>>> Realm parseCapaths [0]=QA.DOM
>>> Realm parseCapaths [1]=D1.W2K8.CORP.ME

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
