If the LDAP server is down, the failed connection attempt appears to leak
memory.  Example program:


#include <lber.h>
#include <ldap.h>

int main()
{
	LDAP *p;

	for (;;)
	{
		p=ldap_init("127.0.0.1", 389);

		if (!p) break;

		printf("%d\n",
		       ldap_simple_bind_s(p, "dc=example.com",
					  "foobar"));
		printf("unbind=%d\n",
		       ldap_unbind_s(p));
	}
	return (0);
}


If the server is down, this leaks memory rather quickly.  If the server is
up, but binddn/bindpw is wrong, there is no memory leak.  If the server is
up, and binddn and bindpw is right, no memory leak.  Only when there's a
failure to establish a connection
