AIX 4.3.3 build problem - crash when calling liblber functions from libldap_r (openldap 2.0.23)

[Tim Murphy <tmurphy@micromuse.com>]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has had this problem before:

I successfully compiled openldap 2.0.23 with cyrus sasl (linked 
statically for various reasons) and open-ssl (linked dynamically).

What I find is that the first time a function in libldap or libldap_r 
calls anything in liblber, my application segfaults.  This happens after 
the function call has happened (gdb reports that the crash is in 
function X in liblber) but before the first statement in that function 
is executed.

I created an empty test function in liblber just to make sure that the 
issue was with the function call - even calling this empty function 
causes a segfault.

I am not sure what to look for - could be some kind of calling 
convention problem or something like that.   If anyone has had a similar 
problem I'd be glad to know.

I need to use the AIX C compiler and using gcc doesn't help anyway.

Regards,

Tim
