I'm trying to use LDAPUserFolder, but whenever I try to create a new LDAPUserFolder my Zope dies with a Segmentation Fault error. What can that be?
I'm using RedHat 7.2, Zope 2.6.2, Python 2.1.3, python-ldap 2.0.0pre14 and Openldap 2.0.25-1
The error message from Zope is this:
2003-11-10T11:36:44 ERROR(200) zdaemon Process 20151 terminated by signal SIGSEGV(11)
Recently, I have analysed something that looked precisely like you describe it. It turned out to be an infinite "__getattr__" recursion in "LDAPUser". This recursion exceeded the C runtime stack limit before it hit Python's "RuntimeError: maximal recursion depth exceeded". The result has been a SIGSEGV due to C runtime stack overflow. This problem was easy to fix: I added a "_properties= None" definition to the "LDAPUser" class. Not sure, whether you have the same problem -- even though the symptoms are identical. -- Dieter
