Is saslauthd dumping core?  If not, then you might have to use 'ulimit'
to set the core file size to something other than 0.  Something like the
following should get you a core, assuming that saslauthd actually tries
to dump one:

cd /tmp
ulimit -c unlimited
saslauthd -a pam &


My guess is that saslauthd itself isn't the problem, and the PAM
module(s) are.
