RE: server side sorting

I'm trying to use the sssvlv overlay with ldapsearch, by supplying these options to ldapsearch (openldap-2.4.23 on Centos 5.4):

-E \!sss=mail:caseIgnoreIA5Match -E \!vlv=0/10/0/10

The server returns 10 entries as expected and then ldapsearch prompts:

Press [before/after(/offset/count|:value)] Enter for the next window.

If I then enter 0/10/0/10, I get the response from the server:

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <.........> with scope subtree
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: ALL
# with server side sorting critical control
# with virtual list view critical control: 0/10/0/10
#

# search result
search: 3
result: 4 Size limit exceeded

This appears to be because of these lines in result.c, in slap_send_search_entry():

if ( op->ors_slimit >= 0 && rs->sr_nentries >= op->ors_slimit ) {
return LDAP_SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED;
}

and because op->ors_slimit is now 0 instead of SLAP_NO_LIMIT (-1).

Any ideas?
