Thanks for reporting this. I'm sorry no one has answered it until now.

Since you wrote your report a lot has changed: OpenLDAP and Samba have 
both received significant improvements, and today we have only a single 
libldap version in Debian.

I noticed that the Samba bugs you filed have never been closed either, 
so I'm wondering whether this was ever resolved for you, or whether you 
eventually solved it on your own?

thanks,
Ryan
