I am using OpenLDAP libraries within my software for my LDAP client implementation.

For the LDAP session handles where I set the option LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS to LDAP_OPT_OFF, it seems that that option is not being propagated when OpenLDAP reconnects after the server dropped the initial connection. Because of that, all subsequent searches start following referrals even though the option was turned off initially.

How to reproduce: 1- Make a LDAP search to LDAP server that returns referrals (Windows AD in my case) with referrals turned off. The search doesn't follow referrals. 2- Drop the connection with the LDAP server (I used SysInternals TCPView to force the connection to close) 3- Make the same LDAP search using the same LDAP session handle used in step 1. OpenLDAP reconnects, but the search unexpectedly follows the referrals.

Expected behavior: I would expect the LDAP session handle to retain original options even when it reconnects drop connections.
