vals is a struct berval**.

This means vals[i] is a struct berval*.

This means the sizeof operator, which returns the size of the type,  
will always return the size of the pointer, because it's only a  
pointer.  This means 4 on most 32bit systems and 8 on most 64bit  
systems.

And bervals are not strings.  If you want to know the length, you'll  
have to look inside the berval.  In lber.h, we have

typedef struct berval {
        ber_len_t       bv_len;
        char            *bv_val;
} BerValue;

Why are you including headers inside a function?
