Re: (ITS#3931) slapcat -a doesn't work

[hyc@symas.com]

There was a bug in the matching routine used to evaluate entryDN 
matches, this is now fixed in HEAD slapd/dn.c rev 1.176. This bug is 
completely unrelated to the changes in Ando's proposed patch(es). Ando's 
latest patch looks OK, but I'm ambivalent about whether it should really 
go in. It seems to me that slapcat should not be filtering on things 
that aren't actually in the entry data, especially since those 
operational attrs are removed from the output so you can't use them to 
cross-check the results. Nor should those operational attrs be included 
in the output, because we don't want them being fed in again on a 
subequent slapadd.
