This is an unfortunate side effect of the way the CONF parser works and
I never got time to fix this. If you put a '\' in there it gets stripped
by the conf code before the extension routines even see it.
Try using the alternative form of the multivalue extensions.
Instead of doing
crlDirstributionPoints=URI:http://some/uri,URI:ldap://10.13.1.129/cn=this,dc
=is?atest
try:
crlDirstributionPoints=@crldp_section
[ crldp_section ]
URI.1=http://some/uri
URI.2=ldap://10.13.1.129/cn=this,dc=is?atest
