Anonymous connections are reused; if a connection for whatever reason
is broken, back-ldap fails (e.g. if the remote server is shut down and 
restarted;
I understand this is not your case, so the failure reason must be 
somewhere else).

This was fixed in 2.2.15: if a reused connection fails with err 52, it's 
closed, so
that a new one can be opened for the following request.  You'll see err 
52 only
once per failure, not forever (I'm considering the opportunity to make 
back-ldap
retry directly, but the hack doesn't appear so simple, it needs more work).

Of course, if you're already using 2.2.15 the problem must be somewhere 
else.
In this case, I suggest you file an ITS and provide as much info as 
possible to
help tracing the real problem (i.e. where the connection breaks).
