Environment

Novell eDirectory 8.8 for All Platforms

Situation

ndsd cores when importing a large ldif file.  The ldif file isn't ordered, ie leaf entries come before some of the container objects.  For the problem to occur, thousands of leaf entries must meet this criteria.  Finally, ice has to be used with the forward reference option enabled.

Resolution

There's no current way to work-around this issue.  The ldif has to be re-ordered.
