Bug#433305: libsasl2-modules-otp: Performing SASL negotiation: invalid parameter supplied

Ok, I have now confirmed that this indeed happens.

Furthermore, the failure originates from lib/client.c line 639. Strange.
That line returns SASL_BADPARAM if the conn parameter evaluates to false
-- meaning that the sasl_conn_t pointer conn doesn't point to a valid
memory address. But some brief testing indicates that the conn pointer
is valid when sasl-sample-client calls sasl_client_step()...

For some reason, my gdb is broken and it can't handle
sasl-sample-client, so further debugging will have to wait until I can
get gdb to work or think of something else to try.

In the meantime, anyone can of course work on this. I wrote some bits on
http://wiki.debian.org/PkgCyrusSASL to describe how to set up OTP with
OPIE, which is what I tested with.

Cheers,
