Re: [nssldap] Solaris 10 update 5 - nss_ldap makes nscd dump core

[Matthew Hardin <mhardin [at] symas.com>]

We've developed the SPARKS changes needed for Sol10u5 and later (this  
is why nscd was dumping core), but nscd on Sol10u5 and later seems  
very fragile and stops working at the drop of a hat. We've been  
sitting on the code until we've worked this out, but that's been going  
very slowly. We would be happy to share what we have if anyone is  
interested.
