Sorry, but that is not the correct fix. The problem here is rather that
something is causing us to call rpc_close_pipes() on the file after the
call to gss_destroy(). That is supposed to be illegal.
Since rpc_rmdir can potentially call rpc_pipe_release, here is a patch
to make sure it is not called after rpcauth_destroy (which calls
gss_destroy)!
