SASL Interactive bind error

["Justin Schwartz" <justin@ivorytower.co.za>]

Greetings,
  I've looked through the forums to find an answer to this problem with no
avail.
I have installed cyrus sasl AND successfully tested the client/server sample
using -s ldap.
However, when I attempt to do this:

# ldapsearch
SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
Please enter your password:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Unknown error

This seems to be a problem that, so far, has no solution...
I have no idea what is going wrong.  Can someone please help?!
