And that would be ideal, yes. Looking at how things work right now I
don't think we can accomplish it. E.g. if you allow multiple threads to
use a single LDAP session, you must guarantee that each outgoing request
has a unique messageID and you must avoid re-using any IDs over the life
of the session. To me this means locked access to a messageID counter,
but if there are other ways, great.
