FYI -- This problem appears to have been fixed in 2.1.8. Thanks to whomever
fixed it! :-)
Enjoy,

Subject: Dereferencing alias causes slapd to crash silently
Hello,
I have a problem, I think it might be a bug --
I created an alias in my DIT pointing to a valid entry in another part
of the DIT. Now if I do a search which touches this alias (assuming
alias dereferencing is on), the server will silently stop. (I tried
various different loglevel settings, there is nothing to indicate a
failure -- the slapd process just dies.) If I do a search without
dereferencing, the alias entry is returned as expected. This behavior
was reproduced with different clients (including the CLUI ldapsearch.)
I am running OpenLDAP 2.1.6 on RedHat Linux 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18)
I am using the 'ldbm' backend (since bdb doesn't support aliases.)
I tested both --with-ldbm-api=berkeley and --with-ldbm-api=gdbm --
problem occurs regardless.
Using Berkeley, I tested both 4.0.14 and 4.1.24 -- problem occurs
regardless.
I built it with gcc 3.0.4 and 2.96 -- same result (although Berkeley's
configure complained about gcc2.96.)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
