Did this really help?  I can't see how this is any different to the
dn->valid_case check we already do in ldb_dn_casefold_internal().

Additionally, the reason that dn->valid_case needs to be checked is that
if the DN is changed, the casefolded version may not be valid, and may
need to be regenerated.  (ie, there is a correctness issue here as
well). 

Sorry,
