Thanks for the pointer to the patch. I thought I tested the release
before uploading but apparently I was mistaken. Sorry about that.

Preparing another upload with this fix (I'll run some tests this time).

Patches are always welcome, however, libnss-ldap currently doesn't have
a maintainer so if someone who actually regularly uses this package
would step up to become maintainer that would help.

I personally use nss-pam-ldapd which is easier to maintain and contains
almost all features nss_ldap has but I understand some people still
prefer nss_ldap so I uploaded a new release that should fix some bugs.

Kind regards,
