The source claims the 'map' attribute has syntax
map {objectclass | attribute}   {<source> | *}      [<dest> | *]
while it actually has syntax
map {objectclass | attribute} [<local name> | *] {<foreign name> |
*}
except that the code is confused about it.  Removed attributes are
put in both the maps for local and foreign names:
	# Remove description and present title as description instead
	map attribute	description
	map attribute	description title
-->
	slapd.conf: line 10: duplicate mapping found (ignored)

Also, map.c:ldap_back_map_attrs() loops forever on removed attributes
(ie. if one asks ldapsearch for an attribute which has been removed).

- Let write operations return unwilling-to-perform after
  'gentle shutdown' has been initiated.
- Change -1 to 2 in slapd_gentle_shutdown and slapd_shutdown, since
  sig_atomic_t can be unsigned (ITS#1736).  The 'gentle SIGHUP' patch
  is older than ITS#1736 but was applied later, so it reintroduced
  the problem.

This patch adds an '-S' option to ldapmodify. If a filename is specified with
this option, records which could not successfully be added/modified/deleted from
the LDAP server will be written to the specified file. Most useful in
conjunction with '-c' option.

(don't check what we expect applications to check).

It has just occurred to me - duh - that the process ID of a back-shell
command is a perfectly good unique ID for it, and more useful than
any connection id/message id thingy.  Doesn't need extra arguments
to the shell commands either, except a pid: line to abandon.
And msgid: can still be removed in a future version.
Here is a patch.
