Re: Memory problem 2.4.17-2.1~bpo50+1

Some additional information:

1. when slapcat ends in a failure the entry wich causes the problem will
give always a problem:
/usr/sbin/slapcat -v -b  "dc=example,dc=com" \
  -a "(entryUUID=93056ad8-9993-102e-916b-d706e901a6df)"
...
<= entry_decode:
slap_str2undef_ad(vent_alarms:ytoxontzojy6im5vdglmesi7ytoyontzojy6il9fzgvzyyi7czowoiiio3m6ntoic291bmqio3m6mdoiijt9fq==):
AttributeDescription contains inappropriate characters
Note: "vent_alarms:..." is not correct: should be "event_alarms:..."

2. when slapcat ends in a failure, a restart of slapd solves the
problem. After a restart of slapd a full dump with slapcat gives no problem.
