I just assumed that I'd managed to mix up some 2.4.23 and 2.4.24 libraries somewhere when building .deb packages, since switching to vanilla source builds seemed to work fine. It does seem that there is something else going on here though.

Hi,

I finally managed to find out what's going on here, in debian we use libldap_r-*. And
we make sure that we have one library available (libldap_r). Somewhere in llibldap_r
there is a locking issue.

I believe this is a bug in OpenLDAP but I need some confirmation:

Quanah:
Can you try the following command to see if it also locks up at your place:
LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2.7.0 ldapsearch -x
