I felt the urge to update the comment, too :)

commit 722bd62d1e6a9d38db57e919d914a371e67d804d

    Fix handling of preferred realm command line option.
    
      The current implementation ignores any preferred realm specified on the
      command line. Fix this behaviour and make sure the preferred realm is
      used as first realm when trying to acquire a keytab entry.
