The problem with the provider not giving the answer the consumer was 
looking for has been fixed in HEAD, and the slapd.conf(5) manpage has 
also been updated with notes about glue/subordinate's interaction with 
other overlays.

With the fixed code in HEAD, add an "overlay glue" directive just above 
your "overlay syncprov" on the master. See the manpage for more info; 
please follow up to this ITS with your results.
