(ITS#4147) Additional Info no longer printed
Full_Name: Aaron Richton
Version: RE23

Submission from: (NULL) (68.197.31.57)
Error messages used to be of the flavor (this is copied from a 2.2 ITS):
Result: Internal (implementation specific) error (80)
Additional info: password hash failed
Now they look like:
ldap_bind: Server is unwilling to perform
"Additional info" is very useful. For instance, the above could be
ldap_bind: Server is unwilling to perform (53)
Additional info: unauthenticated bind (DN with no password) disallowed
Unless there was a good reason why this was taken out, I can't see how the
shortened error messages obey the principle of least surprise.
