NOTICE: This is not a complete bug report. I'm aware I'm not providing useful information on the exact problem and how to fix it. I'm filing this ITS just to keep track of a crash happened to me with the latest release of OpenLDAP with MDB.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED A colleague of mine tried to create a clone of an entry by using a graphic client. Something bad happened during that and as a result he obtained an entry nested 509 times: uid=pippo,uid=pippo,uid=pippo,etc...etc...ou=root
When trying to delete the root of those entries, with phpldapadmin, I managed to crash OL without nothing executed. It was an MDB database.
I zeroed that db, made it repopulate (it is part of a multi-master topology) by using the HDB database engine and re-tried to delete that (root)entry. This time the operation, even not completing (it dropped only half the of the subtree), it suffered no crash. All other slapds in the multi-master topology crashed. I restated the command on the first and this time it completed well.
In the end, I re-used the MDB database after having those entries syncronized by other slapd of the multi-master topology.
As said in advance, I simply can't provide any conf or core or anything else.
