Re: ldapseaarch goes newline with long lines

["Dr. Andreas Moroder" <andreas.moroder@sb-brixen.it>]

Hello Pierangelo, hello Dave,

none of this solutions work. There is NO space at the end of line. There is only
a 0x0A, like in the other lines also.
What distincts the line that should be merge to the lines before is that they
have no : inthere.

Thank you
Andreas Moroder

And now for Pierangelo

fores riesco a spiegarmi meglio in italiano:
dopo il carattere 78 ldapsearch aggiunge un 0x0a, senza però aggiungere uno
spazio. Le righe che sono state divise in questo modo si distinguono per il
fatto che la parte divisa non contiene un :, la prima riga naturalmente si.

Cordiali saluti
Andreas Moroder
