Sorry, my fault: a change to the normalization
(lowercase instead of uppercase) resulted
in breaking some monitor entry updates.  I've
temporarily fixed the problem; I decided to
move the timestamps in createTimestamp and
modifyTimestamp, that is:

cn=Start,cn=Time,cn=Monitor
holds the start time in createTimestamp

cn=Current,cn=Time,cn=Monitor
holds the start time in createTimestamp
and the current time in modifyTimestamp.

This allows generalizedTimeMatch operations
on the attributes; in a future development
a specific attribute will be added
for DSA timing.
