There have been a number of changes in the various versions of the LDAP code,
so you should have a read through the history file ("doc/history.html") to see
what changes were made. Specifically, the connection behaviour has changed at
least once, because Radiator originally tried to open and maintain a single
connection, but there were some servers that fell over with multiple queries on
the connection. There is now a "HoldServerConnection" parameter to control this
behaviour. This was added in 2.16, so have a look at section 6.32.15 in the
manual to check.
