Description of problem: valgrind output for a GSSAPI request with a MMR enabled
server shows memory leaks?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
389-ds-base-1.2.8.2-1.el5

How reproducible: run server under valgrind (per instructions in bug 694195).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup pair of LDAP servers, MMR between them (plain auth via plain LDAP for
that). SELinux is disabled, avoiding memory leak from that:

# getenforce
Disabled

2. Launch server under valgrind.
3. Hit server with single read-only GSSAPI request.

Actual results: see attachment for valgrind output.

Expected results: no reported memory leaks from valgrind? (Or is the output
normal?)

Fix description: Ran valgrind with the MMR+SASL servers and
fixed leaks found in the test.
[plugin/replication/repl5_connection.c]
conn_connect could have overridden conn->ld without releasing
it. This patch releases it if necessary.
[slapd/dn.c]
If DN normalization fails in slapi_sdn_get_dn, this patch
releases the locally strdup'ed string.
[slapd/modify.c, modutil.c]
DN syntax attribute value is found in mods, it was normalized
and replaced in slapi_mods_insert_at. It leaked the pre-
noralized value. Instead, this patch normalizes mods in
do_modify and frees it when the modify is done.
[slapd/operation.c]
modrdn_newsuperior_address.sdn was not release when the modrdn
operaton is done. This patch adds the release code.

slapi_mods_insert_at is called indirectly from slapi_mods_add_ldapmod() and slapi_mods_add_smod() in a number of places in the server, some of which do not directly call a modify operation. Are you sure it is safe to remove the DN normalization from slapi_mods_insert_at()?

Rather, it should not have been there... :( The problem is bv_val is reset there without releasing the previous value. But slapi_mods_insert_at has no idea the original value is on the stack or on the heap... So, it's not a good idea to touch it there.
- (*mbvp)->bv_val = slapi_ch_strdup(slapi_sdn_get_dn(sdn));

The way do_modify normalizes the entire mods is the same was being done in slapi_modify_internal (actually, modify_internal_pb). So, now the external op and the internal one are taking the same steps.
