I am passing this along (with permission) since the info. is probably
useful to others. At this point, I am not sure if this is an issue
on platforms other than AIX or not.

Subject: SLAPD 3.3 bug
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: Text/Plain
I am running the new SLAPD 3.3 code on a AIX 4.1 system and have found a seg.
fault
in the libavl/avl.c routines. After compiling and some debugging I determined
that the
avl cache tree was getting corrupted, not a avl tree anymore which leads to
very nasty
side affects. I had tracked down the cause to be at LINE: 24 in include/avl.h
which
reads "char avl_bf". Some machines AIX being one defaults char values to a
unsigned
char. LH is defined in the avl.c routines as a signed -1 value which causes all
the switch
statements in avl.c to ignore all the LH cases. I changed the code at LINE:24
in include/
avl.h to read "signed char avl_bf". This should be more portable and not take
anything
for granted. This did clear up all the seg. fault problems we were seeing.
I have noticed the memory leak also but have not had time to run it down. I
thought I should
post this to let others know as I see a few others are seeing seg. faults in
the SLAPD 3.3
code.
