additional info: value contains invalid data

[Steve Suehs <ssuehs@lgc.com>]

I install slapd, read the docs and run smack into this problem.
I've been all over the Faq-o-matic.
So now, I have to ask.....

For some reason, when following the example in the OpenLDAP documentation, I
get
the following error: 

ldap_add: Invalid syntax
        additional info: value contains invalid data

The first entry in my ldif file worked, but the 2nd one doesn't.
I clipped it and moved it to a 2nd file so I could isolate the problem.

I also encourage you slapd developers to add something more guiding than
the syntax error message.

If someone would please tell me what I'm smoking, I'll try to put it in the
Faq-O-matic
