I set up a spare machine with an SMTP server with SASL enabled so
I could test this, and reproduced the problem. In fact it turns out
to be something different: sasl_decode64() could return SASL_CONTINUE
as well as SASL_OK on success. I've fixed this in CVS (and will put it
in the 1.3 release too). The patch below may or may not apply on
the very elderly 1.2 the original submitter has.
