Re: slapi_ch_free()






I have noticed this difference early on and I wanted to change it to match
NS. Unfortunately, for us there is too much code to change (places where
the function is called). For OpenLDAP, I can go either way.

for all versions of SLAPI?

The point of SLAPI code is to be compatible with NS-SLAPI
(using NS here implies "Netscape-derived").  But I think the
new code is targeted for an older version of NS-SLAPI.
