I can reproduce this in Sid.

Reverting both "libsasl2-2" and "libsasl2-modules" to version
2.1.23.dfsg1-7 fixes the problem.

I'm setting severity as serious, as it breaks pretty heavily mail
delivery for SASL-based postfix configuration. I'm also marking the bug
as affecting postfix, as many people will probably look for some issue
there.

Thanks for maintaining Cyrus SASL, it ain't easy!
Cheers.
