I would note that you are the only person using OpenLDAP 2.4.23 since it 
was released on 6/10/2010 to report this issue.  So while I concur this is 
a serious issue for your use of OpenLDAP, it is also somehow related to 
your specific OpenLDAP configuration.  You never provided your 
configuration in the upstream discussion that I can find, so it's difficult 
to know what you've done specifically in your environment that is causing 
the problem to show up.
