ldif->read bug? (changetype on entry always goes to add rather th an modify)

[Kitchin, H. <Hea...@DR...>]

eg,
From an ldif file with

dn: uid=one,ou=two,o=three
changetype: modify
delete: attributeX

and code like

$ldif = Net::LDAP::LDIF->new($ops{'f'},'r') || die "can't open $ops{'f'} for
input, $@\n"; 
#-- where $ops{'f'} is the ldif file name

while( my $entry = $ldif->read() ) 
{
    print STDERR "mod $. ",$entry->dn,"\n";
    print STDERR "dumping change:
",Data::Dumper->Dump([$entry],[qw(entry)]),"\n\n";
}
$ldif->done();    

gives me

mod 1 uid=one,ou=two,o=three
dumping change:  $entry = bless( {
                    'attrs' => {
                                 'delete' => [
                                               'attributeX'
                                             ],
                                 'changetype' => [
                                                   'modify'
                                                 ]
                               },
                    'asn' => {
                               'objectName' => 'uid=one,ou=two,o=three',
                               'attributes' => [
                                                 {
                                                   'vals' =>
$hashRef->{'attrs'}{'changetype'},
                                                   'type' => 'changetype'
                                                 },
                                                 {
                                                   'vals' =>
$hashRef->{'attrs'}{'delete'},
                                                   'type' => 'delete'
                                                 }
                                               ]
                             },
                    'changetype' => 'add' #--- what the?!?!
                  }, 'Net::LDAP::Entry' );

Am I missing something or is this actually a bug in the ldif implementation?
