10 hours is the default time that a kerberos ticket is issued for in a
windows Active Directory network. That glitch is not the network dropping,
but is the server replying with an explicit access denied to the client
because the ticket is expired. The client automatically requests a renewal
of the ticket, which is granted, so for most network activities, you never
"see" that renegotiation. A network application *should* be able to
anticipate and accommodate this as this is standard practice in any network.
If, however, this is a non-network app that has been forced into a networked
situation, you'll want to consider setting up a terminal server instead.
