I'll reopen this bug and change the summary.  If the "Notes" or other 
columns(ex. address) contain a long text,  it won't display after migrating or 
importing.  It is in the database but get truncated and tailing with 0xFF.  

In debug build, you will get asertion "###!!! ASSERTION: not a UTF-8 string: 
'Error', file y:\mozilla\xpcom\ds\nsString2.cpp, line 1803".

White space used in ldif file is for continuous line.  When getting the ldif 
string,  I removed the space.  That's why the notes didn't get migrated or 
imported correctly and leave the trailing character.  

The fix is not to remove the space in both migrating and importing.

Test case for QA -
1. In 4.x,  typed a long notes in a person's card.
2. For import testing, export 4.x address book to ldif format.  
3. Migrate 4.x profile or import ldif file and check the note.
