Take your time.

Well, I tried to work around some interop issues with non-LDAPv3-compliant schema
definitions in Oracle Internet Directory (OID) and therefore added these test-cases.

This was ages ago and not successful anyway. I also don't have access to OID myself and
therefore I can't tell whether that's still relevant today. So I'd recommend to simply
ignore (comment) this test-cases.

Ciao, Michael.
