RE: previous results in new search (ITS#404)

[hyc@highlandsun.com]

The libldap maintains a queue of all responses to requests for a particular
LDAP session. The responses are all associated with the
msgid of their matching request. If you want to prevent ldap_result
from returning the "wrong" responses to a request, you should be
invoking it with the correct msgid in the 2nd parameter to the call.
Also, if you want to throw away the responses for a previous search,
you should use ldap_abandon.
