I confirmed this same problem on the latest release of Apache, so I have updated the Version tag.

Since this hasn't seemed to spark any work on resolution, I started working on debugging the error. I'm 
having trouble getting ddd/gdb to trace into apr_ldap_url.c and ldap_url_parse_ext() where the bug 
appears to be. I've gotten as far as tracking down the problem to what happens inside mod_auth_ldap 
at line 702:

result = apr_ldap_url_parse(url, &(urld));

This function is returning bogus data, leading to a segmentation fault a few lines later on.

I do find it odd that Way Sun has seen this problem on Linux. I am running the same software on a 
Redhat 6.1 system and the mod_auth_ldap module is working fine.

I'm beginning to suspect it's something broken in linking process between httpd and the functions from 
apr_ldap_util.c inside the libaprutil.so.0 library. I was thinking it was a big/little endian error, but since 
Way found this same problem on x86 Linux, that doesn't make sense.
