But he said that reversing the order of the filters (i.e. no objectClass=someclass first) cures the problem.
Sorry, if he told you that it must have been in a private email. There is no such statement recorded in the ITS. He said it would be simple to reverse the filters, but that it would not accomplish anything since he wants to cache searches from Samba. He didn't say that he actually tried reversing the filters or that it worked. At any rate, the issue in 5756 was confirmed fixed so again, I do not believe it's responsible for the current situation.
No private message. I probably misunderstood the message in followup 2. My understanding of that message is that he tried swapping the simple filters, but I admit the sentence sound ambiguous to me.
