So far my setup is idled because of this issue, I need both libnss-ldap
libpam-ldap and saslauthd working here which aparently is the working
scenario for such thing to happen as stated in
/usr/share/doc/cyrus-common-2.2/README.Debian.gz

"The Debian libldap2 and cyrus-imapd packages are both compiled using
the SASL library.  If you use cyrus-imapd together with libnss-ldap, or
saslauthd together with libpam-ldap, the resulting double calls to SASL
library functions can trigger a double-free bug which may cause the
calling process to crash.  To avoid such a crash, you must recompile the
libldap2 package --without-cyrus-sasl."
 http://bugs.debian.org/145766
[!@#$%!!! I didn't expect SASL 2.1 to still have this annoying problem]

I also compiled my libldap2 without sasl support, just to test, and it
did *not* solve the issue.
