OK! Could that answer why our ACMELDAP makes the ACME_SERVER crash
multiple times each day stopping our roll-out of the switch from
local UAF to AD/LDAP login authentication?

And does "being rewritten in C" imply that there is a new version
in the works? And that our current ACME_SERVER that crashes all
the time is *currently* written in Ada? Interesting...
