I wrote the patch.

This probably isn't really and openldap related question.

Something "recently" broke this.  glibc, or gcc, or something.  The same
code I used to create a working server on RH6.x just doesn't work - it
just dies with a Sig 11.  I've only made a cursory attempt (and failed)
to track down the why.  Probably won't work on it much more either, we
are dropping PPTP support (for Win9x users) for our users and moving to
OpenVPN (supported on 2000/XP).
