Confused about ldap_result() search results

["David Nelson" <dnelson@apexvoice.com>]

First of all, pardon my ignorance, but I'm really trying to understand how
ldap_result() functions for search results.

Below are the results I'm seeing using the 1.2.11 library on Win2K when
doing a wildcard search with ld_sizelimit=10.  I hope this doesn't wrap to
badly so it's unreadable - I'll attach a text file with the same results.

The first set shows that with a timeout = 1 second, only one ldap_result()
was issued to get the entire chain of results (this took appox. 30ms).  The
second set is for the same search with timeout = 999 milliseconds.  It took
11 total ldap_result() calls to finally obtain the entire chain (this took
approx. 280ms).

Does anyone know why this functions so differently with timeouts < 1 sec?
Is my system clock to blame - my worstation is a Pentium II 400 Mhz?
And why isn't ldap_result() timing out?
Are the 11 ldap_result() calls returning each of the 10 entries and then the
result?
