It returns whatever returned by sasl_getprop(); it should be a pointer to
a zero-terminated string within the SASL context (you don't have to free
it, but it may be invalidated when the context is destroyed).

See ITS#6260 about documenting the behavior with these options :)  Note
that SASL documentation is itself relatively poor in this area.  I could
infer the above from code samples 'round, for which is which.
