ii slapd 2.4.7-4 OpenLDAP server (slapd)

This is with the configuration and module described at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openldap/+bug/90812

This is a symbol visibility problem caused by dlopening an embedded
interpreter and using Debian's ltdl, which resolves symbols without
RTLD_GLOBAL.

Thanks,
