I'll take a stab at this. I'll give you fair warning though that I don't know much about C. It looks like the modifications would be fairly straight forward though given I can find the recommended usage and documentation. I left off at the type cast build warnings so I just need to figure that in plus make sure it is backwards compatible (I saw an example showing how to do that). > > But let's look at the blog entry which convinced you to try patching > python-ldap (see > http://www.notes.xythian.net/2007/10/24/python-cdb-032-52ubuntu2-with-python-25-causes-double-free-corruption-crash-on-dealloc/): > > "Some other searching suggests that python-cdb's use of PyMem_DEL is no > longer recommended." > > That's pretty unprecise, not even a single URL. > > But if somebody can add more detailed information to this it could be > helpful to dive into this.
