I'm aware Novell contributed JLDAP, but as I understand it the code is 
now part of the OpenLDAP source tree and so I wouldn't assume Novell 
necessarily has any responsibilities. When there last was Novell support 
it appeared to come from overseas outsourcing (I could be wrong). 
Watching their stock ride this year, I'd guess they are a little busy 
focusing on shareholder value

If the project needs developers, I'm right here with a body of work that 
absolutely depends on JLDAP (and which I will gladly offer to contribute 
to OpenLDAP through the appropriate channels when I'm satisfied it's 
ready). Unfortunately, submitting more patches doesn't seem to be what 
you need now.

Thank you for this. I've been ignoring the relevant files for a while, 
so I didn't notice. Also, when I originally pointed this issue out:

http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200505/msg00218.html

...it was never acknowledged as being a problem :(

Thanks for not taking my venting/feedback personally. Let me know what I 
can do.
