[python-ldap] search_s() appends failed referral references as results

[Richard Li]

I'm working with some code that does LDAP authentication against
ActiveDirectory, and I'm tracking an error down to a strange behavior in
the search_s() of LDAPObject:

It seems when a referral reference is returned with search results and
referral reference couldn't be reached, search_s() leaves the them in the
returned result list as a tuple (None, ['ldap://referral_uri'])

Is that an intended behavior of search_s() ?
