ldapsearch outputs LDAP results in a loop. The LDIF separator isn't printed after the result is printed. It's printed before the next result is printed. This subtlety causes a problem for a program consuming the output of a persistent ldapsearch (-Esync=rp).

Sorry, but anyone who wants to implement a robust syncrepl client should not rely on ldapsearch command-line tool for that job. IMO it will never really fit the requirements. Use a decent LDAP module for your programming language.
