Problems with OpenLDAP 2.0.27 and OpenSSL 0.9.7

[Michel Stam <michel@reverze.net>]

Hi,

I couldn't find anything in ITS, but iIs anyone aware of any 
incompatibilities with OpenSSL 0.9.7 and OpenLDAP ?

I have tried to compile OpenLDAP 2.0.26 and 2.0.27 with OpenSSL 0.9.7 
installed, yet every time I use ldapsearch with -h 'ldaps://<host>'  (or 
nss_ldap from padl.com with similar TLS options for that matter), it 
returns Segmentation Fault. Non-TLS requests to the OpenLDAP server work 
normally.

The configure command I used is the same as I used for a previous, 
working installation (with OpenLDAP 2.0.26 and OpenSSL 0.9.6h), and no 
configuration files have changed (which was my first guess).

Below the configure command I used to compile OpenLDAP:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc 
--includedir=/usr/include/openldap --localstatedir=/var/lib/openldap 
--disable-debug --with-threads --with-tls --enable-modules 
--enable-wrappers --enable-dynamic --enable-dnssrv --enable-ldap 
--enable-ldbm --enable-passwd --enable-shell --host=i386-slackware-linux 
--build=i386-slackware-linux --target=i386-slackware-linux

This configure command has enabled me to compile and use OpenLDAP for 
the past 3 or 4 stable releases without any problems whatsoever.
Note that the compilation and installation process does not break 
anywhere with the 2.0.26/2.0.27 with openssl 0.9.7 combination.

I'm using OpenLDAP on Slackware version 8.0.

Can anybody help me out ? Am I doing something wrong here ?

I can understand if you need more information from me than what I'm 
currently supplying, so please mail me if I can help out.

Thanks,

Michel Stam
