svc_principal_size looks correct in that case, but the snprintf is
wrong.  I can't test, but it should work to pass svc_principal_size
instead of svc_principal_size-1.  Except snprintf seems pointless here,
since we already make sure to allocate enough memory to avoid overflow.

I'll take the opportunity to get rid of a gcc -Wformat warning - it
can't verify the format argument since that is not a string literal.

Like this.  What's a good name for my new "prefix" variable below?  I
don't know Kerberos/GSSAPI terminology.

	const char *prefix;
	...
	if (allow_remote && givenstr) {
		prefix = "";
		str = givenstr;
	} else {
		prefix = "ldap/";
		str = (allow_remote && dnsHostName) ? dnsHostName : host;
	}

	svc_principal = (char*) ldap_memalloc(strlen(prefix) + strlen(str) + 1);
	if ( svc_principal == NULL ) {
		ld->ld_errno = LDAP_NO_MEMORY;
		return ld->ld_errno;
	}
	sprintf( svc_principal, "%s%s", prefix, str);
