The client option --ldif-wrap=N outputs lines of N+2 columns. E.g. 'ldapsearch -o ldif-wrap=20 ...' gives 22-column output.

Not a bug. See libldap/ldif.c:490.

That's old an internal matter, exposed as default wrap width 78 instead of rfc2849's max 76.

This ITS is about the new --ldif-wrap option. The tools can just subtract 2 from the input value and otherwise keep the current code.

(I do think we should throw away the old bug-compat code and fix the default 78 to 76, but not in RE24. And I note the bug- compat comment claims it's off by 1 while it's actually 2:)
