Problem with Colon n an attribue value

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Person.find(:first, :attribute=>"isMemberOf", :value=> "COMMUNITY:ALL")
2. Tried the net-ldap query directly and it seemed fine

3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect a record to come back from the directory.  If I do a ldap query for an 
attribute that does not contain a colon or I replace the colon with a *, it 
works fine.

The error I get is:
Net::LDAP::LdapError: invalid filter syntax

p.s.:  I did try running the ActiveLdap::Escape::ldap_filter_escape(str), but 
it did not resolve the problem.

Wow, that was fast.  I was slowly looking through the code trying to trace it 
as my free time allowed.  

Thanks!
