Howard,

hmm, but I reported my memory leak (and it obiously is one...) with
2.1.12 - so somehow it must be there, too.
Can you give some more details about what you found?

a) Does it have an ITS number I can watch? So I don't have to bother you
or the list...

b) If I change the database type, let's say from BDB to LDBM, is this a
workaround? Or is the Memory leak "general" and will affect all backend
types?

c) I really would like to try a new version, but as already written in
my last mail, the tcl-interface seems to support only <= 2.1.12. I could
not compile against newer version. Will it be updated, too? Otherwise I
can't upgrade or test your version... Or will there be a bugfix branch
for 2.1.12?

I just would like to know if there's any workaround possible in the
meantime or if I should to "sit and wait" until you release a new
version. I'm not in a hurry and willing to wait, just want to know what
your plans are...
At the moment I restart OpenLDAP every second day....

Thanks a lot for your effort and your help!
Best regards
