Ah, thanks...

OK, I still get a problem with 0.16 over 0.13. I can't use
$sr->shift_entry. I can do

foreach $entry ($sr->entries) { ... }

but not

while ($entry = $sr->shift_entry) { ... }

Hm, upon trying again, it did give me an entry but then
blocked... According to truss it's blocking in recvfrom()...

Also, sometimes I get the "$ldap received:" message and then no hex
dump. Particularly if I'm requesting a large value (jpegPhoto
attributes for instance).
