The problem is most likely that calling connect() to the LDAP server
failed with the error EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress). Probably
because the number of connection to the server is too large.

If you have a large cluster, having too many connections to the LDAP
server may be a problem. If that is the case this problem may be
mitigated by using the threads keyword introduced in release 0.6.2
(setting it to something lower than the default 5).

The error itself is a bit weird because this should only happen when the
socket is in non-blocking mode. Since OpenLDAP has control over the
socket I suspect this may be a bug in OpenLDAP. You also appear to be
using OpenLDAP from stable which is much older than the current version
in unstable/testing.

Btw, I'm a bit puzzled how this dependency ended up in libnss-ldapd.
