Hi Rich,

We've seen this error on 1.2.6 (F13) too; unfortunately, we're having
a bit of difficulty turning on core dumping.

ns-slapd[10129]: segfault at 74c1 ip 00007f637caff675 sp 00007f636e97acb0 error 4 in libcrypto.so.1.0.0a[7f637ca4b000+171000]

The end of our dirsrv sysconfig is:

ulimit -c unlimited
DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT=unlimited

and we've managed to get a core dump by sending a manual SEGV to the
ns-slapd process. I'm not sure why this particular segfault didn't get
a dump. Any insight?

Edward
