RE: Failed assertion in sockbuf.c

["Howard Chu" <hyc@highlandsun.com>]

The truss shows something that may be cause for concern; the process in
question (passwd) has wound up loading both Solaris' bundled LDAP library and
the OpenLDAP library. It is very likely that these libraries are interfering
with each other.
Still, this cannot be confirmed without actually seeing things under a
debugger.
As long as you build the OpenLDAP libraries with debugging info, and you have
root privilege, you can execute the passwd command using the debugger and when
it hits the assertion you can get a stack trace.
