change in behavior from 1.2.x to 2.x (was "Re: Schemacheck")

[Jason Crickmer <jcrickmer@hire.com>]

Isn't this a pretty substantial change from the 1.2 releases?  With my
current level of knowledge of slapd, this 'feature' alone will prevent
us from upgrading from 1.2.9 to 2.0.7.  Is there anything that can be
done at the compilation level (e.g., set a flag, apply a patch,
etc...) to get around this issue?

Thanks,
Jason
