Thanks for the detailed report. However, IMHO, automatic referral
chasing Is Broken. Clients should explicitly chase them, possibly
providing some interactive means for rebinding. This is what is
currently done, for example, by slapd when using slapo-chain(5), and
what should be done by proxy backends as well.
