Re: (ITS#4998) overlays/ppolicy.c: invalid pointer due to free() of unallocated buffer

This is while testing a custom pwdCheckModule. In function check_password_quality(), char *txt is free()'d, slapd crashes with "invalid pointer".

The code works as designed (and as documented). Re-read the slapo-ppolicy(5) manpage. This ITS will be closed.

Actually I think it has a doc bug anyway. See ITS#4901: memory malloced in one Windows DLL must be freed by the same DLL. So the manpage needs to specify _which_ allocation function to use: either ber_memalloc() or slap_sl_malloc(). Because proto-slap.h #defines free to ch_free, which uses ber_memfree_x() or slap_sl_free().
