Hi again,
I found the cause of my LDAP assertion problem...
If the ldap_search function fails (ie. when the server is reported being
down), result doesn't get any value (thus is NULL). If ldap_result2error is
called with a NULL "result", it will end up outputing the "assertion" error.
This little patch calls ldap_result2error if result is non-NULL. This
routine, according to LDAP documentation, gets "The ld_errno field in ld
[...] set and returned." If the ldap_result2error isn't called, the
ld->ld_errno field contains the value
set by ldap_result.
ldap_get_option is then called to retrieve ld->ld_errno, and pass it to
ldap_err2string.
