LDAP Service Provider does not parse LDAP names with escape characters ('\') properly.

2004/11/30 18:00 ###@###.### --
If a LDAP entry has a DN with a sequence of escape characters, calls to search() from javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext do not return the correct number of '\' characters. For example, if we have an entry like "cn=A:\\TestA", the name of the binding in that name space will appear "A:\\\TestA". If the entry RDN contains three '\' characters, the binding name will contain two extra '\'s. It seems that for N proper '\' characters in a RDN, there will be N - 1 '\' characters in the binding name. The problem may lie in the name parser.

Below is the test program (also attached to this bug).
