EDirectory 8.8.4 schema update failed on SLES10.2 OES2 SP1

Question

We are unable to update schema with optional attributes using ldap
connection. We are using the API ldap_schema_add for updating the
schema.
It is returning 90.
Note: we are able to modify schema using the same in case of eDirectory
8.8.1 and 8.8.2 on SLES 10 sp2

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I do not do C.
If the 90 is the LDAP error code from the server, then it is indicative
of a memory error.
