Appears to me that unless timelimit value passed to ldap_search_ext() is positive, the ld_timelimit from .ldaprc overrides, so there's no way for syncrepl ldap_sync_search() to literally specify "unlimited".
To duplicate: configure syncrepl timelimit=unlimited; edit /.ldaprc -> "TIMELIMIT 23"; start replica slapd with a sufficiently large replication backlog; observe timeout at 23 seconds.
To kludge: use extravagantly large value instead: if (si->si_tlimit > 0) timeout.tv_sec = si->tlimit; else timeout.tv_sec = 31536000;
and pass &timeout unconditionally.
