Can you run saslauthd with options "-a pam -n 0" and test it with
testsaslauthd?

testsaslauthd -u relay -p 1234 - works or not? I think that current cyrus-sasl
is broken in this place.

"-a pam -n 0" - works fine.
"-a pam" - works for 3-4 times, than stop working:

[root@ve116-postfix-stand tmp]# testsaslauthd -u foo -p bar
0: OK "Success."
[root@ve116-postfix-stand tmp]# testsaslauthd -u foo -p bar
0: OK "Success."
[root@ve116-postfix-stand tmp]# testsaslauthd -u foo -p bar
^[[A
[root@ve116-postfix-stand tmp]# testsaslauthd -u foo -p bar
connect() : No such file or directory

Do you confirm same behavior of saslauthd?
