Never mind, I misread this ITS, which is about search timelimits. Completely
unrelated.

bad idea. All the existing apps assume that passing a NULL timeout gives an
unlimited timeout. Now this is only true if there is no default timeout set in
ldap.conf/ldaprc. If there is such a setting, then an app can't actually get an
unlimited timeout unless it explicitly calls ldap_set_option() to override any
value read from a config file.
Any thoughts? Without that change, the tm_api value is a no-op and totally
useless. Perhaps it's an option that should not be valid in any config file,
and only valid from an app?
