I'm not sure what your complaint is-- is it failing to
find the `aaa' key after it's been inserted, or that it is
not very efficient in this case? Per the comment at the
top of stringmap.c, it doesn't try to balance the tree at
all....

If it's failing to find the entry at all, well, that's
more serious....

Excellent. Are you happy for me to integrate it into the
distribution? Also, could you tell me how to set up a
minimal LDAP installation so that I can try it out on my
machine.
