Was it working before this patch?

> If multiple ISBN fields are present in the MARC record on import, Koha attempts

> character limit.  Business::ISBN cannot handle this, and will throw an error. 
> This comes up, in one important case, when a patron attempts to log into their

> material with multiple ISBNs in the record, they'll see the error rather than
> their account.

> The simple solution is to scrub any ISBN coming into GetNormalizedISBN for the
> " | " delimiter.  A more robust solution will involve preventing Koha from

We could also split multiple ISBNs on |, and retains the first ISBN identified
as valid by Business::ISBN
