This is getting really strange! Just to be on the safe side wrt clients
I had my user management scripts produce ldif which I ran through ldapmodify
instead of letting Net::LDAPS do the modifications directly. Using this
method I *did not* see any index corruption. Maybe I just got lucky. I 
will try this method for a few days and see what happens. Incidentally
ldapmodify chokes the ldif generated by Net::LDIF. I don't remember if

changetype: modify
add: foo
foo: bar
-
replace: baz
baz:foo
replace: frotz
frotz:foogaa

is ok or if you have to do

changetype: modify
add: foo
foo: bar
-
replace: baz
baz:foo
-
replace: frotz
frotz:foogaa

I.e should I kick Graham or you guys :-)
