Comment:

 It looks like there is a cyrus-sasl 2.1.23 (we're currently using 2.1.22),
 but it only has one specific fix in it (not related to this issue).

 There are a number of fixes in the unreleased
 [https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/sasl/NEWS?rev=1.61
 ;content-type=text%2Fplain 2.1.24 version], a couple of which sound like
 they could possibly be related.

 Unfortunately it is a huge PITA to build cyrus-sasl on Windows that links
 to msvcrt.dll instead of one of the newer Visual Studio version's CRT, so
 I'm probably not going to get to it some time in the near future.  IIRC
 last time created a hacked up combination of VS6 and VS2005 to do so.  It
 probably is possible to do something based on
 [http://nss.daydreamer.nu/?q=node/3 Viktor's NSS building instructions]
 that is less of a hack.
