Do not install libraries from upstream source, if you can help it.  For
starters, Debian-provided libsasl7 (and libsasl2) use versioned symbols to
avoid exactly what you got: segfaults (in Debian sarge and sid, that is).

Either use debian testing, or backports to Debian stable of what you need.
See http://backports.org.

Or you could use backports of postfix 2.1, cyrus-sasl 2.1.19 and 1.5.28+tons
of security fixes, and even cyrus-imapd (if you are using 2.1.x).

So, the only thing you might need to compile yourself is Cyrus IMAPd, if you
want to use version 2.2.
