unexpected exit when freeing handle after a LDAP_SERVER_DOWN error



Hi !
 
First, I want to apologize for those who have already read the post I did in the software mailing list. I try this list because I've almost no feedback and this list is in fact more appropriate to report my problem.
 
So, here it is :
I'm using the OpenLDAP C API (2.0.15) to connect to LDAP servers to perform authentication. I establish a permanent connection and then sends search requests each time I need to authenticate a user. Sometimes, especially when the server is stopped, I receive the LDAP_SERVER_DOWN error as result of my search request. I then have a handle on the broken connection that I need to free in order to avoid memory leaks. When I wrote my code, I first used ldap_unbind() but my program exited from time to time in this function. So I replaced this call by ldap_ld_free() which worked perfectly well so far.
Now I have to deal with TLS connections and even with ldap_ld_free, my program exits, and every time. I used a debugger and here is where the program exits :
 
#0  0xef33eaac in nvmatch ()
#1  0xef33ea70 in getenv ()
#2  0xef31bae8 in dcgettext_u ()
#3  0xef31ba50 in dgettext ()

#16 0xef775bb4 in ldap_ld_free (ld=0x51de30, close=0, sctrls=0x0, cctrls=0x0) at unbind.c:142

If anyone knows something about this problem, please contact me. Or just let me know if I need to report it as IT.
 
Thanks in advance,
