Re: Application gets SegV on AIX with ldap libraries

Anton,
Thanks for responding.  However, do you have any further ideas on why a 
ldap_x_free would fail?  Or do you know of any way to try and track down the 
failure?
It looks like the ldap_x_free is trying to free the memory pointer, which 
may no longer exist?
Is there anything that you can think of which can help in diagnosing the 
failure?
