I've just tried this here. I noted in your bug report that you indicate
that it seems to affect all of your currently maintained products, but
I've tried it here against openldap 2.3.43 and do not see a crash (I can
reproduce the crash on 2.4.19).
Have you tested this one against older openldap, or is it just an
assumption (it might be ACLs or something that is preventing me from
seeing the crash, but I don't believe so if no authentication is
required to affect this).
Seems that this is the patch to fix it:
http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/servers/slapd/modrdn.c.diff?r1=1.170.2.8&r2=1.170.2.9&hideattic=1&sortbydate=0
The code is different enough in 2.3.x that I can't tell by looking at it
whether or not it is affected (enough looks similar that perhaps it
might be and may just require a changed ldapmodrdn command).
