The traditional reason for avoiding that is the risk of a server process becoming multi-threaded. There are live bugs of that ilk on Darwin, and we actually have cross-checks for the case in our code (see HAVE_PTHREAD_IS_THREADED_NP stanzas). If pthread_is_threaded_np(), or something equivalent, is widely available then it might be all right to try solving this going forward by switching to libldap_r and seeing if anyone hits those cross-checks. I'd be afraid to risk it in the back branches though ... regards, tom lane
