Thanks Daniele :-)

OK -- I'll ignore the error and program the "filter TB ldif for gnokii"
script to truncate description fields to 61 characters.

Can the ldif postal address information be manipulated so gnokii will load
it to the phone?  A sample from the TB ldif looks like:

l: Auroville
st: Tamil Nadu
postalCode: 605101
c: India
