Hmm, could there not be a configure check for this patch? My initial
Mandriva cooker contrib package of openldap2.3 isn't too stable, and I
suspect this is the problem (due to one error message I saw to that
effect), but it would be quite tricky for people to track down without
knowing where to look ...

(who will update the system db4.2 package with the required patch)
