Try adding "blower" to the second line of /etc/hosts.  E.g., from my desktop:

paul at haley ~ % hostname; cat /etc/hosts
haley
127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.1.1	haley.internal.darkrain42.org	haley

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Basically, install cyrus-sasl2-dbg and libc6-dbg.  Start up Pidgin
(offline), and then run:
	gdb -p $(pidof pidgin)

Next you'll want to grab the source from Debian for Cyrus SASL, and grep
through for "SASL_FAIL", and attach some breakpoints:
paul at haley …s-sasl/cyrus-sasl2-2.1.24~rc1.dfsg1+cvs2011-05-23 % grep -n
SASL_FAIL lib/*
lib/auxprop.c:1024:	if(_sasl_strdup(plist, &pluginlist, NULL) != SASL_OK)
return SASL_FAIL;
lib/auxprop.c:1068:	return SASL_FAIL;
lib/canonusr.c:99:    else return SASL_FAIL;
lib/canonusr.c:369:	return SASL_FAIL;
lib/checkpw.c:138:    int ret = SASL_FAIL;
lib/checkpw.c:247:    int ret = SASL_FAIL;
lib/checkpw.c:524:    if (strlen(PWCHECKDIR)+8+1 > sizeof(pwpath)) return
SASL_FAIL;
lib/checkpw.c:538:	return SASL_FAIL;
lib/checkpw.c:667:	    return SASL_FAIL;
lib/checkpw.c:854:    return SASL_FAIL;
lib/checkpw.c:1025:    return SASL_FAIL;
lib/checkpw.c:1037:    int result = SASL_FAIL;
lib/client.c:507:      return (SASL_FAIL);
lib/client.c:948:      return SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:217:        return (SASL_FAIL);
lib/common.c:250:            return (SASL_FAIL);
lib/common.c:652:    INTERROR(conn, SASL_FAIL);
lib/common.c:781:        return (SASL_FAIL);
lib/common.c:824:    if (!free_mutex) return SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:844:  if (!free_mutex) return SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:1331:    case SASL_FAIL:     return "generic failure";
lib/common.c:1414:	  if (!callback->proc) return SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:1433:  return SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:1565:    return SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:1618:        return SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:1673:        return SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:1730:      INTERROR(conn, SASL_FAIL);
lib/common.c:1811:  RETURN(conn,SASL_FAIL);
lib/common.c:1852:    result = SASL_FAIL;
lib/common.c:2362:	return SASL_FAIL;
...

For each of these, you should be able to attach a breakpoint by running,
e.g. "break client.c:507".  After adding all the breakpoints, run
"continue" to restart Pidgin, and then try logging in to your account.
*Hopefully*, one of these breakpoints will trigger.  If it does, run "bt
full" and then send back the result.

If you have any questions, ping me in #pidgin (some of the other folks in
there should be able to help as well)

Note that since this is Cyrus SASL we're debugging here, please read
through the gdb backtrace looking for your password, and redact/remove it
as necessary.
