I've set up a meta directory with openldap, which has worked flawlessly until now. If I set the 'quarantine' directive slapd fails to start, giving a segmentation fault. This occurs every time I use quarantine, on two different distros, on any version of openldap that I've tested (2.3.39, 2.3.41, 2.4.9), with both my usual config file and a very simple config file.

As an example, I built openldap 2.4.9 on suse 10 with the following configure line...

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ldap3 --enable-meta --enable-ldap

Slapd.conf looks like...

*******************

include /usr/local/ldap/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /usr/local/ldap/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /usr/local/ldap/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema

pidfile /usr/local/ldap/var/run/slapd.pid argsfile /usr/local/ldap/var/run/slapd.args

database meta suffix "dc=example,dc=com"

rootdn "cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com" rootpw "secret"

quarantine 1800,3

uri "ldap://ldap.example.com/dc=example,dc=com"

*******************

Obviously my normal config looks nothing like this, but running this config gets the same result.

the last few lines that slapd will output with full debug gives...

******************

line 9 (pidfile /usr/local/ldap/var/run/slapd.pid) line 9 (pidfile /usr/local/ldap/var/run/slapd.pid) line 9 (pidfile /usr/local/ldap/var/run/slapd.pid) line 10 (argsfile /usr/local/ldap/var/run/slapd.args) line 13 (database meta) line 14 (suffix "dc=example,dc=com")

Is this a bug or some mistake I'm making?

Thanks is advance!
