Fwd: saslauthd from binary package seg faulting?

[ms419]

I sent this message to the sasl2-bin package maintainer, but I suspect 
he's really busy. I haven't received a response.

I'm not sure whether to open a bug, because I don't understand the 
problem. I can't reproduce the problem with the sasl2-bin binary 
package, compiling the source package on my machine. Compiling the 
binary package on *my* machine is obviously not a solution : )

Maybe one of you can help?
Thanks!
Jack

Subject: saslauthd from binary package seg faulting?
I've tried for many months to get saslauthd working with PAM - I 
happen to use the pam_krb5 module. Now it's working when I build it 
myself - but I don't know why. I have a pretty stock installation of 
unstable on a Pentium 75 and a Celeron 433.

Using the binary packages in unstable (sasl2-bin 2.1.18-4.1) and 
"testsaslauthd -u user -p incorrect", authentication correctly fails. 
Using, however, "testsaslauthd - u user -p correct", saslauthd seg 
faults.

Jeremy Rumpf had been helping me debug the problem, but when I 
recompiled the package to get debug symbols, it wouldn't seg fault - 
it worked! As a matter of fact, even if I compile sasl2-bin w/o debug 
symbols (dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot) it works.

So ... Why does the Debian binary package seg fault, but the binary 
package built from the Debian source not? Maybe some library on my 
machine? Like I said, my installation is pretty stock. Jeremy Rumpf 
doesn't use Debian, so I don't know who to ask.

Thanks!
Jack
