Luke,

not sure if this is the case, but regarding ora_e overlays need to have 
a slightly different behavior if they're global instead of per-database, 
because at present the filed ora_e is set by fe_op_add(), that is 
__after__ the global overlays are invoked.  I didn't anticipate it to 
do_add() because its generation in the original code occurred __after__ 
the database was selected; I the reason was the need to exploit some 
per-database restrictions or consistency checks.  As a consequence, 
global overlays need to prepare ora_e themselves if they need it.  The 
only example you can find right now is in back-ldap/chain.c; hope this 
clarifies the issue.

Ciao, p.
