Re: (ITS#4306) bad ACL syntax in modification to olcAccess attribute crashes slapd
I think I noticed (and fixed) this quite some time ago. I need to check,
but it might be due to the fact that in re23 many config errors are
ignored (apart from a warning message) while in HEAD they're all treated
as errors; this might be reflected in the return value (if any) of the ACL
parsing functions. I recommend we enable strict config checking as soon
as possible, at the cost of possibly highlighting some existing broken
configurations (better notice it later than never...).
