You know that there is a bug in the OpenLDAP SDK up to about 2.2.21 
which causes OpenLDAP to crash when the global connection timeout is 
set (ITS #3487). It ends up doing a double free because it's copying 
pointers instead of contents in the global config structure. I've had 
to explicitly set LDAPConnectionTimeout -1 in order to prevent the 
default timeout being applied, on a couple of installations where I 
couldn't upgrade the SDK.
