Summary: openldap 2.4.30 does not accommodate multi-byte length value on bind request.

First, I'll admit that I'm out of my depth here, I'm running a older version, I'm on Windows, and my package was built by I don't know. But I worked hard enough to track this down that I want you to know what I found. I might upgrade, but that's problematic.

At some point my bindings from .net began failing with "the username or password is incorrect" But they were correct. I could confirm with various other tools. I captured the wire traffic to isolate the problem. It turns out that Windows forms the binding request using a multi-byte length indicator in the request. OpenLdap apparently does not accommodate this. I compared to a request generated by ldapsearch.exe. That request, which succeeds, varies only by using a single-byte length indicator.

The multi-byte length value should be allowed, right? Isn't it possible to have a bind request data packet of length > 127? Which would require a multi-byte length value. Perhaps this was fixed in a later version.
