I suspect it's a build error, due to The Fedora Core 4 buidl not
correctly detecting the ldap_initialize() function.  If that were not to
be detected in the libs, then we would fallback to an internal function
that doesn't handle multiple servers. 

That's my punt anyway.  Look for HAVE_LDAP_INITIALIZE in the smbd -b
output.
