connect() is always done synchronously. Any idea when this will be fixed?

It's actually not considered a bug. ldap_sasl_bind(3) is async in doesn't wait for the LDAP response. There is no LDAP restart API, as would be needed if the API didn't block on various system calls.

Why is that required here?

ldap_sasl_bind() ldap_result() if (timeout) { ldap_abandon() if (just_return_on_error) { return error } else { do_something_else } }

To restart a bind, just abandon and bind again.

I am not all that familiar with the LDAP API, so forgive me if I'm way off base here.
