This ITS shouldn't have been opened.  Bugs appearing from custom code
are 99.9% of the times related to bugs in custom code.  Discussion about
libldap use does not belong to OpenLDAP, unless it addresses something
specific to OpenLDAP's implementation.  In any case, this discussion
should at most take place on the OpenLDAP-software mailing list.  An ITS
shouldn't be opened until there is a clear evidence of a bug or an issue
with OpenLDAP software.
