When TIMEOUT is set and happend to occur there is nothing that shows that we timed out. For example if you do a large/slow LDAP search using ldapsearch and then stop the conversation between slapd and ldapsearch by "killall -STOP slapd" then ldapsearch will terminate after TIMEOUT seconds and it will return the number of records that it got so far and exit with return code 0 and not error message. I'd expect that after TIMEOUT occuring that we get a warning and a return code != 0

libldap's ldap_result() sets ld_errno to LDAP_TIMEOUT but returns 0, so ldapsearch (and all tools) are fooled by not actually checking ld_errno (actually, ldap_get_option(LDAP_OPT_RESULT_CODE)).
