Indeed.

So the consequence is that the -S <sid> option is used to initialize the
entryCSN's, regardless of if the -w option being provided.

If the -w option is provided, then the entryCSN's are searched for the
maximal entryCSN, which becomes the contextCSN (either recently generated,
or provided as part of the LDIF being loaded)

If the -S is not provided, it defaults to 0.

Thanks for your patience..
