Strange SASL issue

[Antoine Nguyen]

Hi all,

I've just upgraded my server from debian 8 to debian 9 and I now encounter
a strange issue. I'm using prosody (XMPP server), configured to
authenticate against dovecot using SASL and a unix socket.

This setup was working fine on debian 8.

Now, each time I try to connect using my XMPP client, the authentication
fails and I see the following error in logs:

auth: Error: BUG: Authentication client said it's PID 0

Have you ever heard about this?

For information, dovecot version is 2.2.27.

Thank you,
Antoine Nguyen
