It works with OpenLDAP HEAD, and the code has not been changed recently.
However OpenLDAP outputs

shell search reading line (RESULT
)

so it looks like the FreeBSD folks have fixed that with a patch which
replaces the newline with space.  If they did that naively, they also
concatenate the lines with spaces instead of newlines between them and
feed that to slapd's entry parser.  That's not likely to work...
