Re: (ITS#4011) slapcat -s gives wrong error message

[hyc@symas.com]

I just did a fresh build of RE23 on Solaris 8, started slapd, did kill 
-9 on it to force an unclean shutdown, and then slapcat -s 
"ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" -l people.ldif and got no error, just the 
expected data.

Closing this ITS.
