Multiple following spaces

[Armin Wenz <awenz@mtgnet.de>]

I ran into the problem that a customer wants to have multiple following 
spaces within an attribute value (namely 'cn' and 'sn'). It's no problem 
inserting these values. But I cannot search for these values with an 
exact match.
e.g.
dn: cn=abc   xyz,o=org,c=de
cn: abd   xyz

A substring search 'cn=abc*' returns this value, even 'cn=abc *' (1 
space). But neither 'cn=abc  *' (2 spaces) nor 'cn=abd   xyz'

Is there a way to get around this?
