  Alex,

the Apache Directory Studio schema editor reexports 'versionNumber ' as 
dmVyc2lvbk51bWJlciA= in LDIF. I read that there is a convention that 
strings with trailing spaces have to be encoded in LDIF. This LDIF has 
been imported into Apache DS 1.5.7 and the server was able to restart. 
So the persistent storage of this value might have been done incorrectly 
by Apache DS trunk.

Regards,

Antoine
