It's not my first choice for an enterprise ldap deployment, but I do
like it for certain network functions, and in this case I wanted to run
a mirrored openldap deployment on two redundant openbsd routers as a
password backend for radius and smtp auth...

2.4.44 is what's currently in their ports tree with some patches to work
(barring mdb), so I was starting lazy :). I'll move up to current code,
it will just require porting their local OS mods to the latest version.

it's still valid in mdb_db_open(), but by the time it reaches
be->be_entry_put in slapadd() it's NULL :(. I'll keep tracing it,
thanks.
