I don’t know. IMHO:
- a server which is down can be ignored (unless explicitly requested)
- a timeout, when some output has already been received, must be reported
- all servers should be treated independently since they are independent
For the time being, i have added LDAP_SERVER_DOWN in map_ldaperr_to_errno
at the same place as LDAP_SUCCESS.

I forgot to test it again. I’ll do it soon.

I’m pretty sure that this is due to the non-buffering
of stderr. In fact, system_printf() is incredibly slow ;-)

You’re right. It was before. Now i have it after and there is only one
such message for the primary domain.

However, for the non-primary domains the result is the same: i get as
many cyg_ldap::open()s as accounts. Even more strange, for all these open’s
(except the first one) the domain variable is printed as (null). Perhaps
something uncontrolled within pg_ent::enumerate_ad()? Simple suggestion, i
was not able to understand the logic there.
