No, they do not necessarily have the same type (a chain returned by a
search operation might contain entries, references, and a result, for
example).  I will change the text to read:

   ldap_msgfree() frees each message in the result chain
   pointed to by res and returns the type of the last message
   in the chain.  If res is NULL, nothing is done and the
   value zero is returned.
