Ah, there was a bug in that release in Net::LDAP::Filter

$f = Net::LDAP::Filter->new('(&(cn=neil*)(sn=b*)') or die;
print $f->as_string,"\n";

(&(cn=neil*)(sn=b*))


However, the version in 0.17 is worse, it gives

(cn=neil*)

It should of course flag an error, then ->search() would return
with an error of LDAP_PARAM_ERROR

Fix coming soon...

Graham.
