Can we check whether my workaround will be included in pam_ldap first? Otherwise we're in the situation where some users will not be able to

Hello,
well I will just wait for a negative answer from you.

Do you think this is severe enough to try to get a stable update in?

Have you identified what fixes the problem?  To me it sounds like the
decompression-leads-to-larger-output-than-input problem that was fixed
some time ago.

This is probably correct - pulling in the libgnutls from testing also fixes the problem. In that case I'm going to try to get my workaround in libpam-ldap since fixing libgnutls would be a lot more work.
