SASL: encoded packet size too big

The next combination of parameters makes 100% LDAP connections unsuccessful (the log snippet form the previous mail).
sasl_bind = yes
sasl_mech = gssapi
tls = yes

Looks like this combination is utterly incorrect and should be prohibited (tls must not be used when mech is gssapi).

With `tls = no` errors `encoded packet size too big` becomes sporadic, but still heart auth orepations performance.
May be there are two different problems.

Has someone encountered this problem before?
How can I help to facilitate the issue debugging?
