another odd problem... with ldap restart

[Alain Spineux]

You are working asynchronously !

add a ldap.result() into your try: except or use the synchronous
ldap.search_s()
method and you will get your error in the expected order.

I you want to survive to ldap restart, use the ReconnectLDAPObject that do
the job nicely.

BUT this let a good QUESTION :

If I start 10 asynchronous ldap requests when the server is down,
how many exception will I get ? 1 or 10 ? easy to test :-)
