Despite ldapp_err2string being documented by MS as returning a PCHAR (char *), when UNICODE it is mapped to ldap_err2stringW and returns PWCHAR (wchar_t *). We have lots of code like that expects ldap_err2string to return char *, most of it failf used like this: failf(data, "LDAP local: Some error: %s", ldap_err2string(rc)); Closes #xxxx
