The problem was fixed in 2.1.22-0~pre04 in Debian, and all versions
after Dapper are okay.

** Description changed:

  libsasl2 in Dapper is configured to use /dev/random. As systems can run
  out of entropy, this can cause applications that use libsasl2 to block.
  Subsequent versions of libsasl2 (since 2.1.22-0~pre04) have been
  configured to use /dev/urandom instead.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 
+ Dapper:
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ strings /usr/lib/libsasl2.so | grep random
+ /dev/random
+ 
+ Hardy:
+ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ strings /usr/lib/libsasl2.so | grep random
+ /dev/urandom

Should use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random
