Unless you can show evidence that the problem is within test_filter(),
which is known to work as expected, custom code issues cannot be
considered OpenLDAP issues.  You don't provide enough information to
prove the above, so this ITS will be suspended waiting for further
information.  For example, did you check that the entry with uid=e497004
was actually candidate and thus subjected to test_filter()?
