Hi,
I had exact the same problem.
I took similar measures.

But I have also another problem with 1.6.1 (after I stripped out this 
stuff), namely that many times, altough unpredictable, auth_ldap refuses 
to let me log in.

In the error log, the message is like this:

Search must return exactly 1 entry; found 0 entries for 
search xxxxxxxxx

although the user and the password are all correct. It does this 
sometimes; intermittent; unpredictable. In the end, however, no one can 
login. Restarting apache (! not ldap!) makes the problem go away, but 
slowly the propblem comes back.

I remember disctinctly to have had this problem before.

Has anybody else found this problem or solved it ?
