Right now, I chose the latter solution which seems to work fine.  Now 
you shoulw be able to remove the kludge.  I would prefer to have it 
removed because I noted it also has an undesirable side effect: 
back-ldap and back-meta rpopagate controls to remote servers by passing 
op->o_ctrls (or some of them, plus dedicated ones) to the ldap_*_ext() 
functions.  The kludge mucks with the ldctl_iscritical field, 
potentially changing the behavior of the remote server.
