Hi,
this is an issue I originally raised on the mutt-users list [0]
where it was suggested that I seek assistance here. The MUA
crashes when sending email over a digest-md5 authenticated
connection. This happens in a call to sasl_dispose() that
indirectly frees some handle that had been freed earlier while
authenticating.

AFAICT mutt’s smtp client code follows the steps layed out in
sample/client.c. Is there a precaution to be taken by the caller
of sasl_client_step() and sasl_dispose() to guard against
accidentally triggering free_rc4() twice?
I’ve tested both 2.1.26 and 2.1.27, the issue is present in both.
FWIW the client authenticates against a postfix built against
cyrus-sasl 2.1.23. Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Philipp
