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.
