execution trace
Hi, I have found a potential null pointer dereference bug in the project and
would like to report it to the maintainers.
At line 836 in file `servers/slapd/backglue.c`, the function `glue_tool_inst`
may return NULL.
Then, at line 765 in the same file, the pointer `on` receives the return value,
which may be NULL. But `on` is dereferenced at line 766 without checking, which
may lead to a null-pointer-dereference bug.
