I guess otherwise their is no reason for the code to be like it is ... at the
same time is it possible to negotiate SASL auth without SASL
integrity/confidentiality ... ?

Yes it seems

The simple one (but the most likely to hit a bare sooner or latter ...) to 16MB
(well I hope not so soon to seen such LDAP message but with MS worser is always
an option !). As it correspond to 0x00 on the first byte and FF FF FF on the 3
others.
Because the real solution would be to follow this rfc for SSL
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2830.txt
Which indicate that we should search for an special oid indicating the starttls
start (I guess this should occur before the bind ...).
But for differencing LDAP with SASL or without the ldap dissector should
receive a notification from the authentification dissector (GSSAPI) of which
attributes (security/integrity/...) have been negociated (have fun ...)
Third way might be first try a normal dissection, then an ssl and then a sasl
one (and we stop one we have a valid ldap message).
Concerning SSL, I though that there was a LDAP_AUTH_SSL flag but in fact no so
forget about my remark.
