Character strings are expected to be NUL ('\0') terminated
in OpenLDAP.  When passed in a berval, bv_len should be equal
to strlen(bv_val).

As Ando noted, the statement is quite proper.

The statement is asserting "Is the berval parameter properly formed?".
The bug is in the function which constructed (or mangled) the berval.
