Done, please test. Note that I rewrote ber_bvdup in terms ov ber_dupbv
for consistency; note also that most if not all the places where ber_bvdup
was still in use got improved from using ber_dupbv because this allows
to use statically allocated struct bervals instead of struct berval *;
your code may also gain from consistently using ber_dupbv.
Ciao, Ando.
