I have been over the init script and I cannot see how it could possibly hang in this way. I have to agree with Dan's assessment that this is probably an external problem. Could you please try changing your /etc/default/saslauthd to use the pam mechanism and see if the problem persists? Also, can you verify that everything is working OK with your Kerberos environment?
