I am testing the LDAP Dereference feature specified here - http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/doc/drafts/draft-masarat...

I am getting an assertion in common.c at line 2077: 2074: ptr = lutil_strncopy( ptr, dr->derefVal.bv_val, dr->derefVal.bv_len ); 2075: *ptr++ = '\n'; 2076: *ptr++ = '\0'; 2077: assert( ptr <= buf + len );

tool_write_ldif( LDIF_PUT_COMMENT, NULL, buf, ptr - buf);

In my test, ptr is one greater than buf + len. It appears that len does not take into consideration the addition of the trailing \0 at line 2076. My test is looking for a dereference attribute which does not have any values, so that the attrVals in the control response is empty. If there are values to return in attrVals, the assertion is not triggered.
