Hi,

   We have a memory leak LDAP_TIMEOUT is encountered on
ldap_search_ext_invocation and we are unable to determine if it is related to
OpenLdap or not. The following summarizes our code in case the LDAP_TIMEOUT
response is returned :

 LDAPMessage *res ;

 // acquire connection

 // perform search

 if(rc == LDAP_TIMEOUT)
 {
    ldap_msgfree(res);
    // return connection
 }

 Is ldap_msgfree(res) enough in this case ?

We tested our program by enabling a low timeout and hence all ldap calls
resulting in timeout. The memory leak is about 9 Megs in several minutes, at a
load of 5 req/ sec.
