Howdy, C. Donly's Perl5 Net::LDAPapi module (see http://miso.wwa.com/~donley/) compiles and installs fine but the example scripts seem to exhibit memory problems. The script ldapwalk.pl (which walks through LDAP entries matching a given filter) prints this message once for each matching that it finds: perl in free(): warning: chunk is already free. Another script ldapwalk2.pl (which does the same thing but uses async LDAP methods) also does this. With 2.2.2-STABLE, it would also bomb with a nasty message something like, "perl: OUT OF MEMORY!". On a -CURRENT system this bombing doesn't happen. Anyone else play with this? Any ideas as to what the problem is? The fact that the behavior is different between -STABLE and -CURRENT would seem to indicate something OS-specific is going on. [ BTW, just in case it matters, P5 is at 5.004_04 and was built 2/28 (from the current p5 port at that time). It was built on a July97 vintage RELENG_2_2 system. The system was upgraded to -CURRENT this past Friday. I just now rebuilt and reinstalled P5 and this module and the behavior is still as described above ] Thanks, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.
