Ah, sorry! Forgot this line in TODO:

- Attach response controls to LDAPError instances to deliver the
  controls to the calling application in case of an error

It means that response controls cannot be received by the application if the
resultCode is not 0. This is a serious deficiency of the current
implementations. C coders want to fix that.

Ciao, Michael.
