=Re: (ITS#3578) Client referral limit not working for V3 referrals

[nalin@redhat.com]

I've seen this as well.

One way of reproducing it with OpenLDAP's slapd is to configure slapd to
return referrals to itself using the "referral" setting, and to then
perform a search in a naming context which the server doesn't serve.  If
the client is letting libldap handle referrals, it will repeatedly query
the server, just as you noted.

A different workaround which avoids messing with the contents of
parentreq is to always pass the parent count directly to
ldap_send_server_request().  I've placed a patch against HEAD at
http://people.redhat.com/nalin/unsorted/openldap-hop.patch which does
this, maybe it'll be useful.
