Re: turning on debugging for Mozilla LDAP CSDK

I found that the issue with the core was due to a missing HPUXPA32
patch on 11.11 machines.  After applying patch PHCO_35743, I did not
get cores any longer.  Here is the description of this patch:

PHCO_35743: ABORT
		ABORT ( SR:8606463292 CR:JAGag19081 )
		Applications using the getipnodebyname(3N) API abort
		with a core when the API is invoked on a system,
		which does not have IPv6 installed.

		ABORT ( SR:8606469657 CR:JAGag24844 )
		When_M_CACHE_OPTS and _M_SBA_OPTS malloc(3C)
		tunables are enabled a NULL pointer may be
		dereferenced during cache retirement. This
		causes the application to core dump.



PHCO_35743:
	( SR:8606459906 CR:JAGag16006 )
	fwrite(3S) does not set errno to EFBIG on partially
	successful write.

	Resolution:
	Modified the fwrite(3S) code to take care of partial write
	behavior.

	( SR:8606463292 CR:JAGag19081 )
	getipnodebyname(3N) API  frees the buffer variables without
	first allocating  them. This occurs due to a socket(2N)
	system call failure, on a system that does not have the IPv6
	or IPv4 bundles  installed.

	Resolution:
	getipnodebyname(3N) API has been modified to initialize the
	buffer variables.

	( SR:8606469657 CR:JAGag24844 )
	When_M_CACHE_OPTS and _M_SBA_OPTS malloc(3C) tunables are
	enabled a NULL pointer may be dereferenced during cache
	retirement. This causes the application to core dump.

	Resolution:
	Checks are added in malloc(3C) so that NULL pointer
	dereference is avoided during thread local cache
	retirement.

Thanks for all your help!
