I could reproduce the issue by caching an entry with an objectClass not 
known to the proxy :).  So the "right" solution consists in fixing the 
proxy's schema.  Of course, OpenLDAP could inform the proxy 
administrator with some intelligible message or, even better, try to 
repair itself (e.g. by checking the remote server's subschemaSubentry).
