Re: Application gets SegV on AIX with ldap libraries

i'm not really familiar with AIX that much to suggest any tools or
interfaces for tracking the issue down. if you can reproduce it on
Solaris i can suggest libumem there. there were bunch of similar
issues fixed since 5.08 and that is why i suggest you upgrade
instead of spending time tracking it down because we do not do any
fixes against 5.08 anymore anyway.
