Hi, We have managed to solve it, it's not a locking of threading issue. All we had to do is recompile cyrus sasl with /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random.
This caused me a lot of trouble the last week. So I hope if some people face this problem they know where to search. Don't say a word! We feel pretty fucked now.
