I don't see "cn=example,ou=management,ou=groups,dc=domain" among
memberOf's of "cn=my.name..." (assuming "..." stands for
",o=uwue,ou=identities,dc=domain", of course).  I've tested the current
implementation of slapo-memberof (test52 of the test suite) and I don't
see any strange behavior.

You should provide a little bit more info, including your configuration
and a clear set of LDIFs that allow to exactly create your database prior
to modification, and a modification that results in an incorrect behavior.

Also, I note that 2.4.11 is relatively old.  If you compare just the
memberof.c file between 2.4.11 and 2.4.19 you'll note hundreds of lines of
changes.
