The bug is in LDAP, and the fix is OpenLDAP 2.1 (as a Debian 3.0 user -
like me - you have OpenLDAP 2.0).  The version of OpenLDAP you are using
is linked against an older (and binary incompatible) SASL, and won't
compile with a newer version.  OpenLDAP 2.1 works with SASL 2.1 and is 
confirmed (by me and others, check the list archives) to fix the problem.

Basically, you have: Cyrus 2.1 -> SASL 2.1 -> OpenLDAP 2.0 -> SASL 1.5
-> segmentation fault.
