Interestingly, in my case, there's only one real database in play for the 
glue as it is, since it's rooted at "".  All other database definitions 
come before it (cn=config, cn=accesslog, cn=monitor).

I'm also curious why back-monitor develops stats for the other caches but 
specifically not for entry cache.
