It's the program's first call to libldap, so libldap needs to initialize itself. I guess it's looking up the default host. I don't think that's documented.

There should be an "initialize libldap" function so you can do it yourself earlier, but for now you can do that with ldap_get_option(), ldap_set_option() or create an LDAP* (with ldap_initialize() etc).
