I did not write that code. It' still mystery to me especially since I
don't like programming C. Maybe David could enlighten us. When support
for LDAPv3 controls was added I already had some doubts...

Please upgrade, especially when providing patches. There have been
numerous fixes since then:

http://python-ldap.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/python-ldap/python-ldap/CHANGES?revision=1.183&view=markup

Your patch and a couple of other minor changes are now in CVS HEAD.
There should be no compability issues between 2.3.1 and a recent
python-ldap release.

Ciao, Michael.
