The issue is with the XMPP prpl's use of S*A*SL, not SSL, probably  
because LDAP uses it for authentication.

I have no idea why it's crashing on you (being conversant in neither  
cyrus sasl's nor openldap's API), but the following snippet from  
libpurple's ./libpurple/protocols/jabber/libxmpp.c might (or might  
not) be pertinent:

     /* XXX - If any other plugin wants SASL this won't be good ... */
#ifdef HAVE_CYRUS_SASL
     if ((ret = sasl_client_init(NULL)) != SASL_OK) {
         purple_debug_error("xmpp", "Error (%d) initializing SASL.\n",  
ret);
     }
#endif
