Hi

I have problems with using hexadecimal representation of attribute value in DN.
According to RFC 2253 attribute value should be represented as '#' character
followed by hexadecimal representation of each of the bytes of the BER encoding
of the X.500  AttributeValue. 

But it seams that the server doesn't decode attributevalue.
Following is a snip from slapd output in debug mode.
(This is search with base set to 2.5.4.5=#13057465737431,o=test - alternate
representation of serialNumber=test1,o=test)

ber_scanf fmt ({miiiib) ber:
>>> dnPrettyNormal: <2.5.4.5=#13057465737431,o=test>
=> ldap_bv2dn(2.5.4.5=#13057465737431,o=test,0)
ldap_err2string
<= ldap_bv2dn(2.5.4.5=#13057465737431,o=test)=0 Success
=> ldap_dn2bv(272)
ldap_err2string
<= ldap_dn2bv(serialNumber=#13057465737431,o=test)=0 Success
=> ldap_dn2bv(272)
ldap_err2string
<= ldap_dn2bv(serialNumber=#13057465737431,o=test)=0 Success
<<< dnPrettyNormal: <serialNumber=#13057465737431,o=test>,
<serialNumber=#13057465737431,o=test>
ber_scanf fmt (m) ber:
ber_scanf fmt ({M}}) ber:
=> bdb_search
bdb_dn2entry("serialNumber=#13057465737431,o=test")
=> bdb_dn2id( "serialNumber=#13057465737431,o=test" )
<= bdb_dn2id: get failed: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found (-30989)
send_ldap_result: conn=6 op=1 p=3
send_ldap_response: msgid=2 tag=101 err=32
ber_get_next


How to reproduce a problem:
1. Import following ldif
---
dn: serialnumber=test1, o=test
objectClass: top
objectClass: device
cn: test
serialNumber: test1
---
2. do following searches:
ldapsearch -x -D "cn=manager,o=test" -w secret -b "serialNumber=test1,o=test"
"objectclass=*"
this search is good and server returns the entry

ldapsearch -x -D "cn=manager,o=test" -w secret -b
"2.5.4.5=#13057465737431,o=test" "objectclass=*"
this search result in error: No such object
