This won't probably be as easy as I expected: back-meta does not check, parse or return entry controls. This needs to be fixed as well.

My fault: back-meta does. However, something strange is happening:

- in some cases, while looping for attribute values, back-meta incorrectly treates entry controls (right after the SearchResultEntry message) as yet another attribute name/values set

- in other cases things just go fine

I'm trying to modify the code in order to compute the size of the SearchResultEntry portion of the message, but again, in some cases, the size is computed incorrectly: the computed length is 4 octets shorter than what's actually in the packet.

One issue seems to be related to the fact that when ber_skip_tag() checks if the length it's computed fits in the ber by calling ber_pvt_ber_remaining(), it doesn't count that earlier calls to ber_read() moved the ber_ptr forward. The original ber_ptr should be saved.

I don't believe messages are encoded incorrectly, so I must be doing something wrong in decoding them...
