I'm experiencing the following problem on CentOS6 - although I've not tested on 
other Os'es.

 On the same machine I've tested following combinations of client & server 
versions :
 Client=2.4.23, Server=2.4.30, Crash=No
 Client=2.4.30, Server=2.4.23, Crash=Yes

 So I believe the problem lies in 2.4.30 client libraries which I have compiled.
 However I'm not able to find something from Changelog related to this.
 I'll now gdb my program and see if I get anything.

 Till then does anybody have any idea abt the prb?

 Thanks,
 Amol.

Subject: 2.4.30 - libldap & libldap_r do not coexist

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.
