Hi,
 I've a program which links to both libldap & libldap_r dynamically. I've been 
running this program with openldap 2.4.23 without any problem. But when I 
upgraded to openldap 2.4.30, the program crashes with segfault. The crash 
occurs at the end when the program is closing connections. I googled and found 
that libldap & libldap_r should not be used in same process space bcos they one 
is non-threadsafe and other is threadsafe and they have same symbols. It is 
difficult for me to solve the problem by changing my compile configuration bcos 
my program loads 2 third party libraries which load these different versions of 
ldaplibraries.

 One solution for me is to make a soft link from libldap to libldap_r, i.e make 
everyone use the threadsafe library. Would it be create any problems ?

 Also, can anyone tell why I did not face the problem in 2.4.23 - I mean is 
there any compile time setting in openldap for this - which I've missed in 
2.4.30 ?

 Thanks and Regards,
 Amol Kulkarni.
