Note that the above caused an incompatible format change in the back-bdb/hdb index databases. If you've used any presence indexing or equality indexing of integer attributes, you'll need to run slapindex to get the new format. slapindex -q -t should do the trick.
As one who forgot this advice, what behaviour can I expect to see? I have an "eq" index on e.g. uidNumber, with no apparent ill-effect.
You probably have too small a database for it to make a visible difference, or nobody is doing equality searches on the uidNumber attribute. If you don't re-index, then you're essentially running the same as no index on your integer attributes. Likewise, all of your presence indices are invalid.
