interesting person entry...

 Dear colleagues, dear Ambrose,

 by accident I discovered a person entry which in its form is definitely
 not wanted:

*pn: Stefan Seiz
*ad: Herdweg 73
*ad:                               \
  ...                               > 128 empty address lines!!!
*ad:                               /
*ad: 70174 Stuttgart
*ad: Germany
*ph: +49 711 18748-0
*fx: +49 711 18748-32
*em: index at schwaben.com
*nh: SSE2-RIPE
*ny: noc at ecrc.de
*ch: wer at ecrc.de 951115
*so: RIPE

 I am in no position to decide whether the entry was done including these
 empty lines or whether this is an error of the database software.

 I think a check should be implemented during acceptance of new database
 objects (or updates) which 
 - removes empty input lines (or fields which do contain nothing but
   white space)
 - afterwards checks whether all mandatory fields for the object are filled
   in should be done
 (actually I expect such a test to be performed anyway...)

 Could anybody please check what is wrong here?
 Thank you!

    Joachim
