When will Mandrake be upgrading all of their uses of sasl v1 to v2?
It is becoming more and more difficult to support a mixed enviroment
of sasl v1 and v2 as they are not re-entrant.  When you have an
application chain that involved both v1 and v2, they pollute each
other's data space.

The quintessential example is trying to use Cyrus IMAPD (which
requires sasl v2) with LDAP (which is linked with sasl v1) on Mandrake
Linux.  It just does not work because of the re-entrancy problems.

It is worth noting that sasl v1 is no longer being developed and all
new work is going into v2.
