SIZELIMIT 0 gives a zero limit

The ldap.conf man page says this:

SIZELIMIT <integer>
Specifies a size limit to use when performing searches.  The number should  be  a
non-negative  integer. SIZELIMIT of zero (0) specifies unlimited search size.

However it appears that putting "SIZELIMIT 0" in my ldap.conf gives a:
# search result
search: 2
result: 4 Size limit exceeded

To workaround this I put a very large value and it works. I am using openldap 2.4.11 compiled from source on a Slackware 10.0. Is it an openldap bug?

Thanks,
Fabio
