My guess is it was fixed in 2.4.26 or 2.4.27.  There have been numerous 
fixes to cn=config support since 2.4.23, so it is hard to know specifically 
which one fixes the above issue. ;)

Ok.  One thing I do with Debian is help triage issues that are reported 
there with the upstream ITS system if the issues do not appear to be due to 
the usage of an old version.  If there is a simple way to do that with Red 
Hat, I could help there as well.
