oooh, that's a completely unrelated bug which also happens to involve
'+':  slapd switched from re_comp() where '+' is a special character in
regular expressions, to POSIX basic Regular Expressions where it isn't,
but didn't update strcpy_special() accordingly.

Here is a simple patch.  NOTE: This is for 1.3.6, it'll probably be
fixed the opposite way (by using Extended Regular Expressions where '+'
*is* special) in later verions.
