Please note, that it is the slapd which segfaults and not the client. This
shouldn't have happened no matter what the client is doing.

With the relay,massage combination, slapd ends up looking for a non-existent
db key (only when searching is done through the real naming context) and
with the overlay,suffixmassage combination slapd seagfaults.

So, if the usage of "overlay,suffixmassage", instead of the "relay <>
massage", is "legal" and if there isnt anything obviously wrong in the rest
of the configuration, I might even start with debugging the segmentation
fault on slapd
