389-ds-base-1.3.2.9 is now in Fedora 20 updates testing.  Please test 
and give karma.  This release fixes everything except 
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47629 random crash in 
send_ldap_search_entry_ext(), which, in my testing, appears to be 
related to syncrepl, and therefore imo should not hold up the release of 
1.3.2.9 into Fedora 20.
