Yes, it's a known problem with slapd not updating one of its indexes
properly on the delete (the one that says whether an entry has children
or not). The problem will go away if you regenerate your indexes from
an ldif file. Or you can hack the slapd code to work around the problem.
Sorry, I don't have a patch to give you. -- Tim
