Local error in simple_bind_s() continued

[Leons Petrazickis]

Hello,

I just installed Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10. It comes with OpenLDAP
2.3.19 and Python 2.4. On top of that, I built the latest CVS checkout of
python-ldap.

I am getting the same error as with Ubuntu. OpenLDAP works, but python-ldap
crashes. Previous thread:
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=OFB4CEB31F.56A5A98B-ON852573B1.00808384-852573B1.0081B67C%40ca.ibm.com&forum_name=python-ldap-dev

This script crashes:

import ldap;
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL,4095);
l = ldap.initialize("ldap://bluepages.ibm.com:636/",trace_level=2);
l.simple_bind_s();


This is the output:

### SNIP ###


The host is running Tivoli Directory Server 5.2. I do not control the host,
but I can install any distro on the client.

What can I do to help resolve this issue? Is there further debugging
information that I could provide?
