Re: DN with semicolon does not work

["Pierangelo Masarati" <ando@sys-net.it>]

The error is in back-bdb/cache.c:339 where a DN is "naively"
explored stopping at a DN_SEAPARTOR(); the ';' is a valid
rdn separator, and, even in normalized mode, it is not escaped.
I see two solutions: use LDAPDN routines to run thru the DN,
or always expair escape ';' in DN.
