When performing an Modify RDN on a record whose parent DN is the "" suffix,
returns an "Unknown Error"

Example:

suppose you have:

dn: dc=com
dc: com

and you wish to do:

ldap_modrdn2_s (ld, "dc=com", "dc=org", TRUE);

It doesn't work. This occurs with ldap_modrdn utility as well.

As a side note, if the entry:

dn:
objectclass: top 

is imported using slapadd, then the above operation modifies the entry, but it
looks like:

dn: org,
dc: org
