sasl2-bin's postinst hangs indefinitely after it has started saslauthd:

If I interrupt apt by pressing Ctrl+C and re-run "apt-get install
sasl2-bin", then I get:

	Starting SASL Authentication Daemon: saslauthd (already running).

and the package is configured properly.

I remember having this problems with previous versions of sasl2-bin as
well but I've been too lazy to report it so far.
