[Frederik Himpe]

Subject: slapadd: ad.c:163: slap_bv2ad: Assertion `*ad == ((void *)0)' failed
Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.27-1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***
When running slapcat or slapadd, I always get this error:
 slapadd: ad.c:163: slap_bv2ad: Assertion `*ad == ((void *)0)' failed

I tried purging slapd and reinstalling with an empty database, and the postinstall slapadd script too fails with this error.
Im running slapd in Xen with libc6-xen.
