Hi,

I have now done quite a lot of testing in the way described in my email from January (Followup 3). I used version 2.4.47, not the HEAD of the openldap git master branch.

I have found one bug, the one mentioned already in the same email. I have added a fix for that bug to the patch directory in https://github.com/hbo/openldap-mdb-deref-problem

I have come across the regression with the back-hdb backend again, which I also described in my previous email already. I am now convinced that this regression is really a problem with the back-hdb implementation, and I can show it without using my patched implementation of back-mdb. The demonstration requires a bit more work to be really presentable and should in any case go into a different bug report.

Apart from these two issues I have not seen any regressions, and I am now quite confident that my patch would work reliable in the environment of my company... no guarantees for anything else :-)

I have seen that Quanah has suggested to look at ITS#8875 for the 2.4.48 release. Whether there will be a fix in 2.4.48 and whether it will be based on my patch is of course up to the lead developers (the change in the DB schema is certainly a strong point against), but this patch can perhaps serve as something to test the actual fix against.

Best regards Henrik
