When using -lldap_r, an application can use each LDAP session
handle in one thread at a time.  Normally, the application
ensures this by restricting operations upon a handle to one
thread, however the application is free to use other means
to serialize calls upon a handle.

Also note that calls which don't take a session handle also
need to be serialized...

slupd(8) is a example threaded application which manages
multiple connections.
