For what it's worth, I developed the patch with 2.0.12.  The keyserver
code doesn't use anything but the most basic features of LDAP, so it
should work with pretty much any vaguely recent version of OpenLDAP.

Yes.  As soon as 1.0.6a becomes 1.0.7 (or whatever) I'll have a
revised patch out.  1.0.6a is an experimental release which shouldn't
be used for real work yet anyway.  (The existing patch may actually
work with 1.0.6a if you patched the Makefiles and configure parts by
hand.)

Let me know how it works for you.  I beat on it pretty hard before
releasing the patch.  Torment it a bit and see if you can break it :)
