Natalie, if you could show me approx. location in the code where
LDAP_SCOPE_BASE search is done and point me in the right direction, on
how this could be improved - I'll do modifications myself and send you
working patch later on. But I need a little bit of your input - just to
get started. Thank you in advance.

Please, that would be important, and I could work on it - with your
help, we should be able to produce a fix.
