Ludwig,

In the future, can you make all comments of fix reviews in the trac ticket? We actually never discuss reviews on mailing lists - only in the trac tickets. Rich missed your comments about this bug.
I'll do and did add comments for this ticket, but I didn't get the comments in the ticket as I was not on the cc list, so both ways have their drawbacks.

Regards,
Ludwig

Thanks,
Mark

And I think be_addsuffix is not safe.

If two threads try to add a suffix, both can get the same current count, the both set the new suffix
be->be_suffix[count]= slapi_sdn_dup(suffix);

and then both increment count. the increment is atomic, but the assignment could be done to the wrong index.

Hi Mark,

in the locked version the list of suffixes cannot be changed while you loop over them. In your version you get the suffix count and the do a for loop i=0..count on it. Although suffixes don't get deleted from the array there couls be cases where one is added from the time you get the count to whwn you execute the loop. Could this be a problem ?
