Bug#679343: cannot reproduce

[Peter Marschall]

Hi,

I tried to reproduce the issue in perl-ldap 0.55 on Perl v5.14.2 using the 
even simpler script below, but failed to stumble upon the error you reported.

------- BEGIN EXAMPLE -------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w -T
use Net::LDAP;
use Net::LDAP::Entry;

die("Usage $0 <carLicense>\n")  unless @ARGV;

my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new('ldap://localhost') or die($@);
my $mesg = $ldap->bind('cn=MANAGER,DC=ADPM,DC=DE', password => 'SECRET');
die $mesg->error  if $mesg->code;

my $entry = Net::LDAP::Entry->new('cn=TEST-USER,DC=ADPM,DC=DE');
$entry->changetype('modify');
$entry->add(carLicense => $ARGV[0]);
$mesg = $entry->update($ldap);
print "Sorry, bug cannot be reproduced\n";
die $mesg->error  if $mesg->code;
------- END EXAMPLE -------

Can you try this simple script (with the constants adapted to your 
environment) to check whether you can reproduce the error.

In addition to that, as perl-ldap is a pure Perl module, I am convinced, that 
perl-ldap cannot really be the cause of a segfault. In my opinion the segfault 
is either caused by a "non-pure-Perl" module used by perl-ldap or a bug in the 
Perl interpreter.

If you still can reproduce the bug, can you try to dig a bit deeper in order 
to find out where the bug really happens [e.g. with print statements in the 
code path].

Not being able to reproduce the bug, we need your help to get more 
information.

Best
Peter
