This has been fixed ages ago in OL 2.3 (not sure about 2.2); I cannot find
the related ITS (if any) but in any case I suggest you upgrade: back-meta
(and back-ldap) in 2.2.13, and in general in 2.2 is not even comparable to
those in 2.3 in terms of functionality, performances and resilience;
libldap itself, in its reentrant variant that is used in the proxy
backends, is totally unparalleled.
