Re: (ITS#3988) Slapd crashing randomly after a failed bind

[ando@sys-net.it]

I suggest you try OpenLDAP 2.3.6; back-meta and libldap saw a lot of
improvements in this field, and only a few of them have been backported.

Problems similar to those you reported have been fixed by addressing
concurrency issues in libldap; their backporting is not guaranteed as
2.3is going to become stable soon, and there are quite a few differences
between the two branches that make their backporting nontrivial.
