Functions in servers/slapd/back-bdb/init.c dereference their ConfigReply * arguments without testing that they are non-NULL first, which causes seg. faults.

Obviously this should never happen. Please provide the stack trace from such an occurrence.

I have only seen this happen when I tried to slapcat a database that hadn't had its directory created or some other stupidity, but anyhow...

I don't include my patch to this, as it is probably easier to fix it again in your source than to apply a patch.
