Have you considered an asynchronous search? The returned LDAPSearchQueue 
does have an isComplete() method, so you can be sure.

Better yet, try setting the batchsize constraint on your search to 0. 
Default will block an entry at a time.

I can't duplicate this against OpenLDAP, and I do this sort of thing all 
the time. I've also never seen an 82 code from OpenLDAP, so maybe you 
should specify directory, OS, version, etc.

Try checking hasMore() before calling next() to avoid errors.

if ( r.hasMore() ) System.err.println ( r.next() );

When you perform a synchronous search with a batchsize of 1 you will 
usally want to do something with the results before attempting to count 
them all.

Hey, sorry. Need more help?
