We tried to estalish connection to LDAP server by our own (because of proxy usage) and then use "ldap_open_internal_connection" function to initialize internal structures of openldap. After successful SASL binding we realized that the connection to LDAP server has been closed. We found out that there is checking for reference count in "wait4msg" function (result.c file) this way:

if ( lc->lconn_refcnt <= 1 )

During classic initialization and SASL binding we get 2 references, however when using "ldap_open_internal_connection" and SASL binding we get only 1 reference.

We realized that in "ldap_open_defconn" (function which is called for establishing of a new connection) there is reference counter which is increased this way:

++ld->ld_defconn->lconn_refcnt; /* so it never gets closed/freed */

When we added this incrementation also into "ldap_open_internal_connection" (open.c file), everything goes well (it is obvious).

Are we wrong or this is really minor bug (missing incrementation of reference counter in "ldap_open_internal_connection")?
