Point. Based on a quick reread of RFC 2849, LDIF doesn't mandate line wrapping. But it does explicitly allow it, so tools that process LDIF need to be able to deal with wrapped lines.

And it occurs to me that the unfold script can also be done a perl one-liner:

perl -pe 'BEGIN { undef $/; } s/\n //gms'
