back-meta doesn't check the return code from the normalizer when it's normalizing the values of an attribute. As such, it can leave NULL slots in a->a_nvals even though a->a_vals slots are all non-NULL.

This seems like an odd situation, since we just went thru the validator above, before attempting to normalize. In this case the attribute was telephoneNumber, with a value of " " (a single space). The validator is printableStringValidate, which accepts the value. But telephoneNumberNormalize rejects it. Shouldn't the validator and normalizer always accept the same set of input?

Anyway, HEAD is fixed to just drop the illegal values, as Ando suggested.
