I think the solution the reporter posed is probably the right thing,  
but I'm concerned what the change will do to existing installations.   
It may be that the existing code works for some people, even if it is  
not the correct way.  However I *think* that the current behavior can  
not work under "normal" circumstances because it assumes that parent  
objects will be created implicitly when that is actually impossible.   
To be perfectly honest, until this bug was reported I wasn't even  
aware that LDAP supported multi-attribute DNs, but it does make sense  
now that I have read about it.

I am going to move forward with applying the fix as suggested because  
I think the current behavior is actually broken.  In any case I was  
not able to get it to work reliably on my test systems and this will  
make it work.
