LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT olny acts at the connection level, which 
apparently is established successfully.  ldap_bind_s(), which BTW is 
deprecated in favor of ldap_sasl_bind_s(), does not allow any timeout 
while waiting for response.  Until OpenLDAP 2.3, the LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT 
was not honored; only calling ldap_result() with an explicit timeout 
would allow to time out requests taking too long.  The only way to make 
use of a timeout was to use the asynchronous API, as done in the code 
you submitted when BIND_TIME_CONTROL is defined.  Since OpenLDAP 2.4, 
LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT is honored by the library.  Unfortunately you didn't 
specify what version of the API you're using.
