IMAP authentication via LDAPS

[Saltmarsh, Evan M]

Well good news and bad.  I've determined that the saslauthd is crashing
when the call is made, but the truss is cryptic in nature.  Here is the
tail end, don't know if it's helpful or not.

26866/2:        getpid()                                        = 26866
[1]
26866/2:        write(6, "8092010301\0 i\0\0\0  \0".., 148)     = 148
26866/2:        read(6, "16030104 B02\0", 7)                    = 7
26866/2:        time()                                          =
1128629768
26866/2:        time()                                          =

26866/2:        getpid()                                        = 26866

Try running strace (linux) or truss (solaris) on the saslauthd master 
process and the cyrus master process.  You'll want to have strace/truss 
follow forks.  The system calls near these error message will probably 
expose the problem.
