You may doubt it, but Quanah is right: your dump utility violates the RFC.

in the "Formal Syntax Definition of LDIF" section, RFC 2849 explicitly states 
that controls may only occur in change records.

I do not think that adding an option to accept this type of RFC violation
is the way to go, as it would be a precedent for further RFC-violations
(even if they were hidden behind options).
This way lies madness (or option hell).

Instead, please get the dump utility fixed so that it adheres to the RFC.

Best
Peter

PS: Please don't top-post
