Re: help! slapd is crashing

[Joshua E Warchol <jwarchol@dsl.net>]

Ok, one more piece of the puzzle: The search that kills the slapd 
process (why slapd can be killed by a query is beyond me) is proceeded
by an add for that record. So a full entry is added then a search for that
entry (with all the attributes, as shown below) is conducted. This is on
the very same connection. 

Later, an stand alone search does not cause the problem. But every time
a new entry is added, slapd crashes. 

Help, why is slapd dying on me?
