Just a quick follow-up regarding this: I went ahead and investigated how
tricky it would be to apply that fix on 7.4.0, and it turned out to be
fairly straight forward.

The main problem was that hdb_set_sync() was introduced prior to the
fix, but including it ended up with this set of patches:
===
e3cc7dfb94826aa709a617fb8e59ab07db584f92: Set def page size for HDB SQLite3 backend to 8KB
d6979fcc40e00fd6ddd393c724cd728349b86de8: Allow LDAP modifications for entry creation
5bcbe2125b18160f6ad348b15f8036ffedc15770: Add hdb_set_sync() method
7d5f8bb051ca84592d1196bf5d5522da5a50f9d6: Disable sync during kadmin load
d2130e3312089a3142e89b316d2900fa21855726: Handle long lines in dump files
===

Just looking around it seems it might be suitable to also add in
305dc816525f461f9bfe640d87f671f53f0e0fc6 (Disable sync during iprop
receive_everything()), but I am trying to keep the customization to
a minimum.

Applying them in the listed order meant there was no patch fuzz, and I just now
managed to test a load of a large database dump that was previously failing. It
now finished without complaints, and a follow-up dump produced a file with a
sha256 hash matching the original backup file. Thanks a bunch for fixing the
problem.
