LDAP Error in pdbedit

Folks,

A rather large site has reported to me the following error info:

server:/ # pdbedit -L -v
ldapsam_setsampwent: LDAP search failed: Size limit exceeded


The Samba code module that reports this is:
	passdb/pdb_ldap.c line 1259

The problem appears to be that when the returned data is larger than the size 
of an int there is a problem. It seems we should be using 
smbldap_search_paged() instead of smbldap_search().

The site in question has over 4000 LDAP entries and the returned data is much 
larger than 64KB.

What is the best fix for this?

Cheers,
John T.
