There's no bug here, and the schema parser isn't causing your problem. As documented in slapd.conf(5), directives must form a single logical line. Lines that are split must be continued by a leading space character.

Trying to load a schema, I got an error because the schema parser is expecting a WSP before the closing parenthese. Here is the attributeType :

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.30267.0.1 NAME 'ApplicationName' SUP name EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch ORDERING caseIgnoreOrderingMatch SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 SINGLE-VALUE ) ^ | +--- note that there is no space here.

If I add a spece before the ')', the schema is parsed correctly.

This is breaking RFC 4512 :

This has nothing to do with RFC 4512.
