In this case your amount of pain includes learning how to debug code yourself, because nobody on the Project cares to spend any time debugging obsolete code. I suggest you read up on how to use gdb.

Some tips to get started are here http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/59.html

but you'll likely need to dig deeper than a simple backtrace.

Running OpenLDAP 2.2.19 on Darwin kernel v. 8.11.1, and when I issue:

/usr/sbin/slapcat -d 5 -v -l /Users/localadmin/Desktop/bkup.ldif

I get the following output:

<snip>...

# id=00000070 entry_decode: "cn=raidgroup,cn=groups,dc=fileserver,dc=mydomain,dc=private" <= entry_decode(cn=raidgroup,cn=groups,dc=fileserver,dc=mydomain,dc=private) # id=00000071 slapcat shutdown: initiated Segmentation fault

...</snip>

Anyone know how I can track down what's causing this segmentation fault? .
