From: Dave Carrigan <Dave.Carrigan@cnpl.enbridge.com> 2. There are some really brain dead LDAP servers out there (e.g. Lotus Domino) that list all of the attributes that an entry can potentially have, even if the entry doesn't actually have values for some of the attributes. What this means is that ldap_next_attribute will return an attribute name, but ldap_get_values on that attribute will return NULL. The RET_CPP and RET_BVPP macros in API.xs don't check for null pointers, which results in a core dump. The attached API.xs.patch fixes that.

Ok, applied the included patch, I hope it will work. :)

asking Dave.Carrigan@cnpl.enbridge.com to verify the fix

requested incorrect person to verify bug / supply test case for verification. Leif, can you either verify the bug or supply me with a test case?
