Had the same problem. We simply changed the variables "parse_entry",
"file_attr_directory" from extern to local in
servers/slapd/tools/edb2ldif.c. Haven't seen any problems, but we also
don't use the edb2ldif, but instead prefer to load via ldap. This permits
us to easily put our data 'source' under CM. Otherwise, we've become slapd
converts. Hope this helps,
