As I wrote, I only simulated receiving that type of response by 
modifying the name of the attribute after it was extracted by back-meta 
and before it was resolved.  It would be interesting to see what happens 
when the actual response of AD is received by back-meta.

In any case, since you have the core files, it would be interesting to 
see the attribute structure, and specifically of the a_desc member (the 
AttributeDescription structure).
