[Bug 220724] [NEW] Assertion error in schema_init.c:366: octetStringIndexer

[Michael Jeanson]

Public bug reported:

Using slapd 2.4.7-6ubuntu3 on hardy i386, I get random crashes in modify
operations.

Log :
oc_check_allowed type "modifyTimestamp"
slapd: /build/buildd/openldap2.3-2.4.7/servers/slapd/schema_init.c:366: octetStringIndexer: Assertion `i > 0' failed.
Abandon

There is a debian bug filed for this issue :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=474161

The solution is present but it's not clear if it was packaged or not in
unstable.

The fix is 2 one liners has described here :
<http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/servers/slapd/modify.c.diff?r1=1.301&r2=1.302&hideattic=1&sortbydate=0&f=h>
<http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/servers/slapd/back-bdb/modify.c.diff?r1=1.173&r2=1.174&hideattic=1&sortbydate=0&f=h>

This bug makes slapd unusable in hardy at least for me. I'll package the
fix for testing on my servers and report any side-effects.
