I don't see any LDAP_SET_REFERRALS in OpenLDAP code.  You're supposed to 
use

	ldap_set_option( ld, LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS, LDAP_OPT_OFF )

to disable them in your code.  This needs to be set before you run 
operations that could return a referral.  You should then be prepared to 
receive explicit referrals or search references (either LDAP_REFERRAL 
return code at end of operation, or LDAP_RES_SEARCH_REFERENCE return 
code in intermediate responses to searche requests).
