You know that the OpenSSL compat layer has nearly identical issues to
the OpenSSL lib itself? The old patch did not use it because of them.

Nice! But as I said the compat layer will pose a problem. And - I am
working on a patch for current OpenLDAP CVS as well together with
somebody from univention.de. I'd rather use something I can fix instead
of using third party code again and trying to keep it alive later.
Your help is of course very welcome, I'd like to join forces to get this
up and running. I could move my current working tree to svn.debian.org
or something if needed.
I hope we can work out something reasonable and more stable than the
last patch.
Thanks!
