Re: (ITS#3568) Failed Assertion in io.c

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

The fact that ber_write failed due to an assertion is, by itself,
not indicative of a bug in OpenLDAP Software.  In fact, the
assertion indicates that the caller inappropriately called
ber_write with a NULL second argument.  It is not clear from
your report which software is making the call to ber_write().
A stack back trace would like be useful here.

But before going further, I suggest attempt to duplicate this
problem the latest version of OpenLDAP Software, e.g. 2.2.23,
(as distributed by OpenLDAP Project).
