[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#457261: slapd: include processor failures - there is now a fix in HEAD/RE24/RE23

[Richard A Nelson]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.3.39-1
Severity: normal

There are issues with the slapd include file handling - though not
generally seen, the problems can be catastrophic (locking up slapd).

In my case, it made it hard to split the slapd config file so that I
could easily use cfengine to serve multiple databases.

Some information in the slapd ITS is here:

	fixed in HEAD/RE24/RE23
