OK, thanks for the hint, it worked :)

In case someone was using smbldap-tool 0.85, this change is around line 
390, and looks like below (note there is no "$ldap_master->unbind;" and 
there is "return 1;") - I set it to 15, just in case:

        $add->code && warn "failed to add entry: ", $add->error ;
        # take down the session
        sleep(15);
        return 1;
}
