Thanks for making it public! It's not often that we get to see some of the cool plugins that people make for 389, and the features they bring.

An interesting idea that could bring you a lot assurance, would be to integrate and test with Address Sanitiser. This would help you find and detect potential memory safety issues in the plugin. If you want some advice on how to do this, I'm happy to help.

Thanks!
