saslauthd certainly isn't buggy in this way.  The Zanarotti, or
screensaver, attack is avoided.  We make extensive use of saslauthd
here and the KerberosV logs clearly show a ticket-granting ticket
(krbtgt/BATH.AC.UK@BATH.AC.UK) being acquired and then used to
acquire host/{hostname}@BATH.AC.UK credentials.  The saslauthd code
caters for both the Heimdal and MIT Kerberos libraries.

We're also using OpenLDAP with KerberosV.  That's showing the above
correct behaviour when authenticating users.  I wasn't responsible
for building the servers so I'm not that familiar with the code.
But I suspect that it may well be using saslauthd.
