(ITS#4739) Server crashes every time alias is dereferenced

Full_Name: Kevin Hardiman Version: 2.3.27 OS: Linux (Mandriva 2007) URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (24.90.130.182)

Using the very simple alias below, OpenLDAP will crash every time it is dereferenced:

dn: uid=test,ou=Users,ou=bladiant,ou=smb,ou=Core Services,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: alias objectclass: extensibleObject uid: test aliasedObjectName: uid=test,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com

This error has been experience with OpenLDAP releases 2.3.6 and 2.3.27, both in the form of provided Mandriva packages. I also have seen a number of references to this error in previous releases, with no explicit fix. Please advise.
