The code to do in-directory lookups for SASLregex performs its backend searches
with the connection structure set to be NULL. This results in a segmentation
fault
when backend_group attempts to cache results in the connection structure.

Having asked on the openldap-devel list, the patch at the URL noted fixes the
SASL code to pass around connection information, and extracts the code to
reset the cached group information into a procedure of its own, in order that it

can be called whenever connection DN information is changed.
