Re: ITS#1570 slapd crashes during search query
Hi Howard,
thanks for looking into this. I will test your patch.
One another note, when we were trying to get closer to
the cause of the problem, we have definitely seen duplicate
ids occurring in ID_BLOCKs. Unfortunately, the error is
not simple to reproduce, since it manifests itself only
when used candidates ID_BLOCK size of the search terms
is close to the allocated size.
I have not spent too much time trying to figure out
what causes the duplicates (i.e. whether it is really in
the idl_xxx algorithms or if this is a result
of "lower level" problems). Is there any recipe known
how we could get a better analysis (debug macros etc.)?
Would an ldif-dump of a database showing this problem help?
