I added those directives, but that didn't bring any progess. The behaviour is 
still the same. I got a bit further by using the chain overlay as a global 
overlay instead of tieing it to a database. I could at least see that the 
consumer did a bind on the master server but then it crashed somewhere in 
back-ldap (ldap_back_modify() ). I'll investigate further.

Seems that Quanah is right and this part of HEAD is a bit unstable at the 
moment.
