Yeah -- so you keep saying ;)  ...  Patch attached.

No, I was not saying that 8281 should be removed - just that I have 
built without the 8281 patch and the "problem" does not happen in that 
case.

Since I think we both agree that, strictly speaking, syncprov should not 
be required on a consumer only configuration; syncrepl probably needs to 
be updated to calculate the CSN if it is not present in the 
response (that's really all that is being added by having syncprov 
between syncrepl and the database - right?).  I'm not familiar with the 
code, so I don't know how difficult that would be.
