That's the wrong solution though. A process initialization is supposed to take less than a second always. If something like LDAP initialization is taking minutes, this waiting should be done after the process initialization has finished. I thought the LDAP initialization code was asynchronous though, unless you're using sasl_bind=yes or tls=yes?
