Torsten, if you want to add a workaround to slapd, that should be ok, but the real bug appears to be that the readline frontend is somehow defaulting to an empty string for text values (although, not in my testing here...). It may be that slapd is one of the more severely affected packages, but I'm sure it's not the only place this causes problems. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
