Oracle has not released anything newer than 4.6.21, so I assume nothing has 
been done to address the issue.  Howard informed them of the problem, but 
who knows where that's gone.

Need to load the syncprov overlay if it is a master (syncprov), and apply 
it to the *correct* database.  Need to add the syncrepl stanza to the 
*correct* database if it is a replica.

Note that MMR is currently only supported with syncrepl (not 
delta-syncrepl).  That is targeted for a future release.
