I thought that the "ldapsearch" binary from any given release should

with a 2.1.25 ldapsearch binary if there are a lot of results.  What
we get is:

ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (81)

If I use a 2.3 series ldapsearch binary, the search completes without
problem.  The ldap server seems to think that the 2.1 binary issued an
UNBIND request:


No, the ldapsearch binary *does* issue an Unbind request once it gets the
error 81. Most likely this is a SASL buffering bug that was fixed after
2.1.25.

Hm, okay. This binary worked fine when the servers were running OpenLDAP 2.3.23, it just stopped working when I upgraded to Linux and 2.3.24. I'll guess that the SASL buffering issue is getting triggered under linux being much faster. ;)
