Summary: Bad processing of "*" in ldap::search

Initial Comment:
The ldap::search processing of substrings does not    
handle "*" when used in more complex situations    
than "*x", "*x*" or "x*". For example, this little test    
program displays :    
   (sn=david) : 3 result(s)   
   (sn=da*id) : 0 result(s)     <--- obviousely wrong!   
   
------------------------------------------------------------------------   
#!/usr/local/bin/tclsh8.4     
 
package require ldap 
 
set host ldap.u-strasbg.fr 
set base "o=ulp" 
set filter1 "(sn=david)" 
set filter2 "(sn=da*id)" 
 
set ldapfd [::ldap::connect $host] 
set r1 [::ldap::search $ldapfd $base $filter1 {}] 
set r2 [::ldap::search $ldapfd $base $filter2 {}] 
::ldap::disconnect $ldapfd 
 
puts "$filter1 : [llength $r1] result(s)" 
puts "$filter2 : [llength $r2] result(s)" 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------   
  
The attached patch provides a general solution to the 
"*" handling. It is still not the complete solution to RFC 
2254, but a little step forward. 
.. :-(
