For the record, the problem was that in my own code on the client side I made
the foolish assumption that perl-ldap would close any open ldap connections
when the script ended since perl as a rule tends to do that. I added explicit
closes just before xmas and the problem hasn't recurred.

The Greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the
hijacking of morality by religion. However valuable -- even
necessary -- that may have been in enforcing good behavior on
primitive peoples, their association is now counterproductive.
Yet at the very moment when they should be decoupled,
sanctimonious nitwits are calling for a return to morals based
on superstition.
