Dunno if this is related, but I had problems using some 3rd-party tools
(such as ldapsync) on a 2.0.25 system.  There were many cases where the
DNs were not normalised e.g.

dn: attr=value1,....
attr: value2

i.e. the LHS of the DN was not present as an RDN.  I wrote a simple Perl
program to scan the output of slapcat, looking for these mismatches.

The 2.0.x software accepts this; the RFC-compliant ones do not.  Another
problem is objectclasses consisting of more than one (derived) structural
class.
