I have patched the 2.3.20 code to make all connections non-blocking. I did not address referrals, and I'm sure there are other features I overlooked as well.

Would it be helpful to see what I have done to get around the problem? I would be happy to send you a patch.

That's all for now,

Your efforts are appreciated.

Please see my additional responses inline below.

My single-threaded application requires that multiple connection attempts may be in-progress simultaneously, in conjunction with other activities that need timely attention. In other words, I need to have multiple connections in non-blocking SSL_connect() at the same time, with the application doing select() on all the LDAP connection sockets as needed. The fix you have provided will allow this?

No, at a first glance it's not going to have any impact on that portion of code. I'll try to sort out if and how anything similar can be done in that area.

What is the time-frame for this to be available in a "stable" version?

There's no definite timeframe. It's not going to appear in OpenLDAP 2.3, since it's feature frozen and this does not represent a significant bug fix, but rather a new, marginal feature. 2.4 is on its way, and this code will surely be in the next 2.4 release. Whether this will be still alpha or release, I have no idea right now.
