[tpop3d-discuss] segfault on bad password

To narrow it down further, it appears that the segfault occurs only when
doing the ldap auth using the filter:

auth-ldap-filter: (uid=$(user))


However, if I (in tpop3d.conf) add the lines:

append-domain: yes

and use the filter:

auth-ldap-filter: (uid=$(local_part))

it will work, although functionally, the above should be the same.
Weird.

One other note, which I believe is separate- it doesn't appear that
tpop3d is releasing it's connections- I've got 160 connections in
TIME_WAIT since about 1:30 am when we put the popper into place. And we
only have around 2,000 users on this box. 



Additionally, I might be able to provide a test solaris box if you'd
like. Let me know offline whether that would help.
