To all of the people experiencing problems:

Could you please run Demo/page_control.py after applying the attached
patch (which enables debug logging).

To preclude problems in the 64-bit build of OpenLDAP client libs you
could also try paged-search with the command-line tool ldapsearch which
essentially uses the same control encoding/decoding functions in libldap.

Ciao, Michael.
