Re: (ITS#4651) slapd fails parsing valid slapd.conf

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

I have made a few commits to HEAD to address this issue.
The slapd.conf(5) physical line length is now determined by
LINE_MAX, which by POSIX, should be at least 2048 characters.
I've also updated the slapd.conf(5) manual page to note
that no physical line should be longer than 2000 characters.
slapd.conf(5) containing long physical lines (BUFSIZ before,
2000 now) are not considered valid.

I recommend continuation lines be used well before
approach the (past or current) physical line limit.
