Correct. That's what I said long time ago, too. I wonder if OpenLDAP projects' delusions about Undefined Behaviour "not being a bug" still persist, or are they perhaps going to fix their buggy code? What a minefield to walk on, it can blow up anytime. I am very happy to not have to administer this server code anymore, but I sure am scared for those who do. best regards, Unto Sten
