Since their definitions are required for the correct operation of 
referrals, the definitions have been hardcoded into slapd. Many schema 
definitions that are required for slapd's operation have been moved out 
of the core.schema file and into the code for similar reasons. For this 
reason, you must always use the core.schema file that was included with 
the particular OpenLDAP release you are using. E.g., an OpenLDAP 2.0 
core.schema file will not work with OpenLDAP 2.1 or 2.2, or vice versa.
