Patches to change constants that are already redefinable at compile time will not be accepted.
Why though? This seems like a very crappy policy.
This bug took a very long time to diagnose and I've no doubt others might run into it if they bothered to compile for Windows.
What bug? You haven't identified any bug. OpenLDAP builds and runs fine on Windows, and the slapd server handles thousands of concurrent connections, same as when built on Linux. There is no bug here.
Did you even bother to read the description? I don't care if your slapd server handles millions of connections; fact is that a simple app using libldap can segfault under certain circumstances on Windows, and I consider this a bug.
The code works as designed, and the smooth operation of millions of servers around the world is more important than the opinion of a single self-entitled ignorant prick.
It's not the 1980s, you can afford to set your program to use a stack larger than 64K.
