If libpurple is built with Cyrus SASL support, libpurple just uses that
wholesale, and don't use any of the built-in code (which is something I
keep meaning to fix).

I'm not sure what's going on here, though.  Something in Cyrus is returning
SASL_FAIL (-1).

Could you get a debug log of Pidgin starting up?  Disable all accounts, and
then quit Pidgin.  From the command line, run:

	pidgin -d > ~/pidgin.log

After it starts up, go ahead and enable one of your XMPP accounts, and then
quit Pidgin, and attach that debug log.
