Summary: LDAP search segfaults on RedHat FC3

Initial Comment:
Doing an LDAP search against one of our intranet LDAP
servers results in a segmentation fault with Python
2.3.4 on Fedora Core 3.  Here is a 2-line test case:

server = ldap.initialize(URL)
results = server.search_st(BASE, ldap.SCOPE_ONELEVEL,
    '(cn=anyone at gmail.com)',
    ['cn', 'email'])

The gdb backtrace is attached.

If I run the same code on a different system (Debian,
Python 2.3.4, OpenLDAP 2.1.30), instead of a segfault I
see an LDAP error:

ldap.NO_RESULTS_RETURNED: {'info': '', 'desc': 'No
results returned'}

Based on the backtrace, I think the FC3 system is not
handling that error correctly.
