OK, this time for sure: sasl_auxprop_add_plugin invokes the plugin with
sasl_global_utils (lib/auxprop.c:804)
804         result = auxpropfunc(sasl_global_utils,
SASL_AUXPROP_PLUG_VERSION,
805                              &out_version, &plug, plugname);

sasl_global_utils has a NULL context. It is created this way by
_sasl_common_init (lib/common.c:421)
    /* Setup the global utilities */
    if(!sasl_global_utils) {
        sasl_global_utils = _sasl_alloc_utils(NULL, NULL);
        if(sasl_global_utils == NULL) return SASL_NOMEM;
    }

It passes a NULL context to _sasl_alloc_utils; it should be passing
&global_callbacks instead.
