git patch file (lib389) - Support additional options (-t truncate -R)
0001-dbscan-Support-additional-options-t-truncate-R.patch

I'm happy with the fix. The test may have issue if we don't have valgrind installed (or has been built with asan). However, that sounds like a whole lot of "my problem only", so I will ack this, and when I encounter the issue I'll fix it myself then.

Thanks for your work!

Thanks for reviewing the patches, William!

It implies you did not have valgrind? ;) If we run the test suites on a newly allocated VM, that'd happen easily, indeed...:( Since lib389 has a test API which uses valgrind, we may want to add "Require valgrind" to the lib389 spec file? Of course, that does not solve all the cases, but it might reduce the number (hopefully)...
