Yes, Mark uses that truly brilliant piece of software ;)

That's an excellent question. Mark, is that what you are trying to  
do, identify one specific entry by using the objectGUID?

But then again, even if he could use the DN, I suppose the real  
problem is that you cannot "round trip" the value. You can't just  
grab it from a search result and use it to formulate another query,  
even if you send it through ldap.escape_filter_chars, if I understand  
the problem correctly.
