Could somebody with more knowledge of C programming please review
function encode_rfc2696() in Modules/ldapcontrol.c?

The following var declaration could be problematic on 64-bit systems:

    unsigned long size;

Another issue could be in decode_rfc2696() (which is not yet reached if
encode_rfc2696() fails):

    unsigned long count;

Ciao, Michael.
