Thanks for reporting this. I'm sorry no one has answered it for so long.

I did find some similar reports to yours on the Internet, e.g:

http://marc.info/?l=nssldap&m=109345611222798
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=163659

but couldn't determine whether it was ever resolved.

Since you wrote your report, both OpenLDAP and GnuTLS have had 
significant improvements. In particular, the GnuTLS support in OpenLDAP 
was completely rewritten for the 2.4 series.

I don't have access to an Active Directory installation, so I can't test 
this myself. Can you please let us know whether you still have this 
problem when using unmodified packages from the Debian archive?

thanks,
Ryan
