What format would you like that in (and how do I produce that)?

>> Thanks Ken, I’ll keep that in mind. In this particular case (and with your earlier patch applied) it appears that http_auth() in cyrus-imap’s httpd.c returns SASL_CONTINUE. 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.
