Good day Emmanuel,

Thank you for the reply, I just created this entry:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1556

And the "burden" is no problem. Personally I hate it when users complain "it 
doesn't work" without giving information, so I understand your question 
completely.

Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards,

Ewald Wasscher

This is a serious issue. This error just indicate that the encoding is 
not correctly process a request or a response (ie, we compute the 
encoded PDU for a LDAP message, allocate the appropriate ByteBuffer, 
then feed it with the real data). If you get this error, that means we 
try to store a bigger value than the buffer we allocated...

At this point, I would suggest you first create a JIRA for this, and 
provide a bit more informations :
- ADS version you are using
- attach an LDIF for the entry that fails (if it's always the same 
entry, of course)

If it's not enough, we can provide a patch to dump the message when you 
get this error, so that we can analyze exactly what's going on.

Sorry for the burden !
