As emerged from discussions in the devel list, when a backend is selected based
on a dn
that is longer than the running naming context, there is no check that the
suffix
match occurs at a dn separator. As a result, someone complained that "c=DE" 
was erroneously selected instead of "dc=de" because the former was listed before
the
latter. By copying a test that is performed in suffixalias.c when deciding
whether to
aliase or not a suffix, I modified the select_backend routine to overcome this 
limitation. It seems to work correctly, though I didn't check if the manageDSAit

stuff still behaves as expected.
