Ahh. Good point. I got so focused on the search end, I forgot that it
stuck the referral into the error message.

There are both compile-time (COMPAT30) and runtime tests available.
Now I just have to sort out how to write the message properly. Currently,
it continues to put the referrals in the error message and return a
partial result.

p.s. Anybody know how to see what port we're listening on? The port
number in slapd_daemon() doesn't seem to get tucked away anywhere for
me to find it from within the backend.
