You picked up the pre-1.1.2 ldap.conf file before I updated it with
distribution defaults.  Just edit $sysconfdir/ldap.conf OR
cvs update; make install.

Well, you can always set ld->ld_sizelimit.  I recommend you only override
the ldap.conf defaults based upon user input.  I do not recommend hardcoding
overrides unless you really enjoy having to edit code to change defaults.
I recommend you also use #ifdef in your code so that you can support both
U-Mich (OpenLDAP 1.x) and our newer API (your mileage here might vary).

>From the hip example:
	char *ldap_host = NULL; /* allow defaulting */
	int ldap_port = 0;	/* allow defaulting */
	int sizelimit = -1;	/* allow defaulting */

	switch(getopt(...)) {
		... ldap_host = argv[i]; ...		/* user override */
		... ldap_port = atoi(argv[i]); ...	/* user override */
		... sizelimit = atoi(argv[i]); ...	/* user override */
	}

	ld = ldap_init(ldap_host, ldap_port);

	if( sizelimit != -1 ) {
#ifdef	LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT
		ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_SIZELIMIT, &sizelimit);
#else
		ld->ld_sizelimit = sizelimit
#endif
	}
