Ned, thanks for the input.

This sounds like the most logical patch to take.  Unless I get off my 
ass and rewrite a PASSDSS-type SASL mechanism that we can try to fasttrack.

Just out of curiosity, what happens to the NNTP base doc, which has an 
informative reference to AUTHINFO, if AUTHINFO is sitting in the queue 
waiting for DIGEST-MD5 to resolve?
