ITS#3308 reports that slapd(8) improperly returns 
unavailableCriticalExtension for a recognized and
appropriate control.  This code should only be
returned for controls which are unrecognized or
inappropriate for the operation they are attached
to.  I committed a fix for ITS#3308 (backend.c 1.298).
