Since 2.0.54, it seems mod_auth_ldap just segfaults on any request if built against older versions of OpenLDAP, 2.2.20 and earlier (pre-2005). It looks like this was another regression caused the addition of the LDAPConnectionTimeout option. (New features, stable branch, regressions? Hmmm, I spot a pattern)
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34618 mentions this with "upgrade OpenLDAP" as the solution, which isn't really a great way to give your users that warm fuzzy feeling. Any objections to this?
