Description Rob Crittenden 2009-07-15 13:12:11 UTC 
Description of problem:

The documentation on slapi_pblock_get() states that in most cases the caller doesn't need to free the value returned:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/plugin/function.htm#35042

One case where the caller need to do a free is in SLAPI_CONN_DN. The value should be freed with slapi_ch_free_string()

This is also mentioned in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458510
