Fwd: saslauthd from binary package seg faulting?

[ms419@freezone.co.uk]

I sent this message to the sasl2-bin package maintainer, but I suspect 
he's really busy. I haven't received a response.

I'm not sure whether to open a bug, because I don't understand the 
problem. I can't reproduce the problem with the sasl2-bin binary 
package, compiling the source package on my machine. Compiling the 
binary package on *my* machine is obviously not a solution : )

Maybe one of you can help?

Thanks!

Jack
