        Accordingly with BNF in RFC and RFC 2253 and X500Principal constructor javadoc IAE must be thrown in following call:

        new X500Principal("CN=prefix\\<>suffix")

        It is not thrown and surprisingly following getName() call on created instance returns "CN=prefix\\<". So all characters after "\\<>" are dropped.
