There is a bug ldap_init dating back to Umich 3.2.  I was only recently
made aware of it, hence the fix will not be available until OpenLDAP 1.2.
In versions prior to OpenLDAP 1.2, use ldap_open() instead.

The fix is available on our 1.2 release engineering branch.  See
http://www.openldap.org/software/repo.html for details on how to
obtain source from our software repository.
