Build Identifier: 

The DN.ESCAPED_CHAR constant does not contain the 
characters '=', '<', '>', '"', "\", '#', or "<cr>" as specified in RFC-1485.  
The result is that my application which is being moved to use the IBM SecureWay 
LDAP directory server (version 4.1) enforces this requirment.  My application 
occasionally generates RDNs that contain (in this case) the '#' character.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Observer the definition of DN.ESCAPED_CHAR in 
ldapjdk/netscape/ldap/LDAPDN.java
2.
3.

Also note that the escaping rules specified in RFC 2253 are slightly different
(but do include some of the characters that seem to be missing).
Agreed, but the documentation only claims compliance with RFC-1485.
