Have a problem with LDAP_RENAME_S and the server not checking if the OU and etc
exists..

ie..

trying to rename "cn=George Daswani,ou=Internal,o=ESRI,c=US" 

to 

"cn=George Henry C. Daswani,ou=Internal,o=ESRI,c=US"..

code snippet..

static const char *dnToRename = "cn=George Daswani,ou=Internal,o=ESRI,c=US"
static const char *dnNewName = "cn=George Henry C.
Daswani,ou=Internal,o=ESRI,c=US"

..
..
..

ldap_rename_s(ldapConn,dnToRename,dnNewName,dnNewName,NULL,1,NULL,NULL);
...

It renames the Dn to

"cn=George Henry C. Daswani,ou=Internal,o=ESRI,c=US,ou=Internal,o=ESRI,c=US".

I know that *dnNewName should really only be "cn=George Henry C. Daswani"

but shouldn't the openldap server check to make sure that the dn i'm renaming to
is valid?

ou=Internal,o=ESRI,c=US,ou=Internal,o=ESRI,c=US is not a valid branch..

In this case, one can't delete the corrupted record from the database because it
complains about invalid parent.. (which is correct as the item doesn't have a
valid parent trees)..
