There are problems in the SASL code in 2.1.0alpha1 that also appear to be 
present in the CVS HEAD. I've opened bug reports on the ones that I've found, 
but to summarise

1) dnNormalize2 assert()s when called from within the slapd parse routine due 
to the incorrect initialization of the berval's length
2) There's an off by one initialization error in sasl_get_dn which causes a 
malloc'd buffer to be overrun by one character when performing SASL 
authentication. (bug # 1714)

Since fixing these two our server has run (touch wood) fine with GSSAPI 
authentication. However, your core dump doesn't really provide that much 
information to trace the problem further. Try rebuilding slapd with -g in the 
CFLAGS, and running an unstripped executable 

Cheers,

Simon.
