- Sun is using ber typedefs for the ber tags, lengths, sizes, and they are using the same typedefs as OpenLDAP uses (e.g. see /usr/include/lber_types.h on a linux system). This will help with OpenLDAP compatability.
- decode.c - Sun added explicit boundary checking for bad ber lengths, and explicit freeing of allocated buffers upon ber failures
- in io.c - Sun has a slightly different implementation of BerRead, as well as several other improvements in ber i/o (tunable buffer size, ber stats, and much more)
- nsldap_ber_realloc - The Sun version keeps track of the number of reallocs
