Hello,

In December of 2005, you reported the following bug against the Debian
OpenLDAP package:

It doesn't look like this bug received a response until some time later,
and I can't tell from the bug log whether you received a copy of the
response.

Are you still having an issue here, and do you know if this bug might
still exist?  It's been quite a while, and unless you're still having
problems or can reproduce this issue, I'm not sure how productive it will
be to try to dig into this report further.

Our apologies for not having been able to get to the bottom of this
problem in a timely fashion.
