Subject: syntax not understood by LDAP

Hello,

We have locally defined a new attribute "comment" of the syntax 
"caseIgnoreList" and have noticed that is does not come correctly into the
Directory using LDAP (3.0).
We have written an LDAP-Client which creates an entry with this attribute.
The supplied value "something $ something else" is put in the Direcctory as:
   "{T.61}something \20 something else" and with DISH it comes as:

    comment - something $ something else

Has someone an idea why this happens? Are there any bugs known?

Thank you very much for an answer
