Seems to pass my simple tests.  If there is a specific
filter that causes the problem, I suggest you file an
ITS with details (include stack back trace).  It's
also best to duplicate the problem without use of
custom code.  In this case, it should be possible to
reproduce the crash using slapd's ACL filters.

val cannot be NULL (at least in HEAD and OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2),
so this seems like a pointless patch.

str2filter() is still available for backend use.
