Your fix for this problem works well in my tests.

Under the same subject, another problem arises:

Consider this :
- back null
---- back ldap 1 returning 3 results to a search
---- back ldap 2 returning 3 results to a search

And you search "back null" with a page size of 2:
- The first response contains 2 results from "back ldap 1" and a correct 
cookie.
- The second response contains 1 result from "back ldap 1" and 1 result 
from "back ldap 2", and another correct cookie.
- The third request, however, goes back to "back ldap 1", and returns 
the same results as the first response.
- And so on... forever.

As I mentioned, it seems that to solve this problem we would have to tie 
a paged results cookie to a particular backend under glue...
