Bug 227840

Curious; I can't reproduce this (x86).

Could you try reporting this in the upstream bugzilla
(http://dev.mmgsecurity.com/bugs/), and include in the report the architecture
of your system and the type of object you right-clicked on?

The LDAP server is openldap with then openldap-servers-sql package running at on
Fedora 6 x86. 

I've reported this in the upstream bugzilla:

http://dev.mmgsecurity.com/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=83

Upstream is unable to reproduce this either. Can you please try this again but
run lat with the --debug option, which should give more of a clue what's going on?

I have tryed it today with the Fedora Directory Server, but the same result.
Here the debug output:

According to the output, you appear to be binding anonymously to your directory
and the crash is happening when attempting to fetch the server's LDAP schema.

This might perhaps be a permissions issue. Couple of questions:

1) Does it also crash if/when you try to use the schema browser on this server?

2) Does the original crash happen if you log in with privileges? (e.g.
as the directory administrator)

Upstream has closed their bug
(http://dev.mmgsecurity.com/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=83) for this due to lack of
response. I'm inclined to do the same.

Closing as FC6 is now EOL; please reopen if this problem is reproducible on a
current Fedora release.
