The problem is that I don't have 64-bit Linux hardware to test myself.
And a bug could be in OpenLDAP client libs, Python or python-ldap
itself. The OpenLDAP and Python versions mentioned above are indeed
quite old. Also I don't know what the distributor CentOS or Red Hat is
exactly doing when builing the packages.

Dominic tested with a more recent version of the OpenLDAP client libs
(2.4.12) but still with pre-installed python 2.4.3-21.el5. Hmm...

Ciao, Michael.
