malloc error using slapadd

[glavoy@apple.com (Gary LaVoy)]

Hello there,

So when I import my data into openldap 2.1.21, i periodicly get this error:


*** malloc[11906]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x1c13d0; This could
be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try
setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug

It's always on the same records. The only thing these records have in common is
the telephonenumber attribute looks like this:

telephonenumber: -

If I remove that attribute or 'fix' it, then I don't get the error.

I realize that the data is not very friendly, but we have many thousands of
records like this and it's not easy to keep it from happenning.

Also, I am not sure if this is a "bug" that should or has been reported since I
am not a 'developer' of openldap, just a user.

So if this is useful to anyone, or if there is something I can do to keep it
from occuring, please let me know.

Cheers,
