There seems to be an error in (optional) attribute handling in URIs used in sets.

Background: in OpenLDAP 2.3 sets were enhanced by allowing to dereference URIs by performing the corresponding internal search; the syntax was:

[<uri>]/<attr>

returning the value of <attr> after searching for <uri>; if optional attrs were specified in the URI, their values could be added to the result set; so

[ldap:///o=suffix?cn,sn?sub]/uid

would have collected the "cn", the "sn" and the "uid" of entries matching the URI.

Well, this is broken: it seems to only work as expected when no optional attrs are given. A fix for HEAD is about to come.
