Hi Johan,

I believe this issue is fixed by the following commit: 
http://git.cyrusimap.org/cyrus-sasl/commit/?id=76ce885a44e7cb511ba54ceae46349036abb9cc8

BTW, which CardDAV client is using Digest?

If I’m reading this correctly, this appears to be the effect of initializing the plugin (as done in digestmd5_server_plug_init(), defined in same file as the snippet above) with an undefined reauth_timeout.  And indeed, adding "sasl_reauth_timeout: 10” to /etc/imapd.conf makes the crash go away.
