Steffen, I wonder which Python version you're using. It seems to run
stable under Python 2.0 but crashes under Python 2.1.x very often.
Most times in the case when the LDAP connection object is
deleted/cleaned up. Maybe there were significant changes in
reference counting, garbage collection etc. introduced in Python
2.1?

Steffen, Konstantin, would you mind glancing over
http://www.amk.ca/python/2.1/ ?

Ciao, Michael.
