I tried using ber_len_t instead of sasl_ssf_t, but the problem
persisted. I did some digging with git-bisect between 2.4.23 and
2.4.24, and problem first shows up with
769083f84816a380a4ae9bb48ab55631ff596751 .

Quanah's suggestion of testing with 2.4.26 was a good one, because the
problem is solved in this version. Thank you for your help!
