In test043 the test database defines a root entry of dc=example,dc=com. For this
entry, the results of the ldapsearch do not include the hasSubordinates
attribute at all, in spite of the fact that the entry does have subordinates.
Test043 passes, due to the fact that this attribute is missing from the root
entry in both the provider and the consumer.

Other entries with subordinates do include this attribute and its value is
correct in all the cases I examined.

Here is the snippet from tests/testrun/server1.flt:

dn: dc=example,dc=com
dc: example
objectClass: organization
objectClass: domainRelatedObject
objectClass: dcObject
l: Anytown, Michigan
st: Michigan
o: Example, Inc.
o: EX
o: Ex.

entryDN: dc=example,dc=com
subschemaSubentry: cn=Subschema

The version of BDB in use here is 4.8.30, although I note this happens with
earlier releases of BDB as well.

Also of interest is the fact that this test fails on some platforms (e.g.
Windows), because the provider slapd correctly reports hasSubordinates=TRUE,
while the consumer omits the attribute entirely, in spite of the fact that
subordinate entries do exist on the consumer.
