I'll note that unless you defined it yourself, "dn" is not a valid 
attribute name.  I suspect your back-sql meta-data generates an entry 
that doesn't pass schema checking, otherwise I don't see a chance for 
that error to be reported.

In any case, since the behavior you report is very data and meta-data 
dependent, you don't provide enough info for debugging, and at a very 
first glance this is not indicative of a software bug.
