This is helpful. Any chance you could paste the entire stack traces? For example, #0 0x0000003735c3c868 in slapi_get_mapping_tree_node_by_dn@plt () from /usr/lib64/dirsrv/libslapd.so.0 #0 0x0000003735c4ad38 in slapi_dn_normalize_ext () from /usr/lib64/dirsrv/libslapd.so.0 etc. are nice to have, but much better would be the entire stack traces of these calls so we can see where they are called from. > > Thanks, > Justin -- 389 users mailing list 389-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users
