When I perform the following test on a 2.0-alpha2 slapd server, it crashes (for those of you who know perl): for ($i=0;$i<1000;$i++) # That's 1000 bind/unbind { $ldap=new Ldap($host,$port); die "..." unless defined($ldap); $ldap->bind_s($user,$pass) or die "..."; $ldap=undef; # unbind } The test works with OpenLDAP 1.2.6.
