(ITS#8001) Segmentation Fault in ldap_sync_*
Full_Name: Alexey Kireyev
Version: 2.4.40
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/
Submission from: (NULL) (98.118.88.65)
If not all fields in ldap_sync_t manually set after ldap_sync_initialize, then
any following calls might (and most probably will) ends in segmentation fault.
Reason: ldap_sync_initialize doesn't zeroed newly allocated structure (it does
it for pre-existing, though, which is wrong by itself in my view)
