Good point.  It tries to get that attribute because
your entry could have more than one objectClass, and,
since that attribute is listed in the requested attrs,
the easiest way to assess if it's present or not was
to request it.  It is the repository's responsibility
to ensure that such attribute is not available for
entries whose objectclasses do not allow it.  I'll
consider adding such test to future releases.

OK, it was the same bug, which caused requests for
an attribute which was not available for an entry
to crash in some circumstances.  It should be fixed
right now.  Thanks for testing.
