carddav with DIGEST-MD5

I would probably have to see the protocol exchange to  in order to 
understand what is happening.

The comment around line 3272 says “Need another step to complete authentication”, but the caller (response_header(), line ~2270) appears not to invoke that other step.

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.
