That was overparanoid.  I added it only for completeness.  In fact, the
only case that's creating trouble right now on my laptop is that of the
actual data.  Using valgrind with SLAPD_DEBUG=0 it requires two
ldapsearches to actually get the data in.  Also, I simply made it check
for the last entry that's added, although there might be no guarantee that
that shows up last in the consumer as well.

I was also considering the possibility to compare some contextCSN between
producer and consumer.  Maybe that's the best way.
