hmm.. i don't know if the LDAP protocol allows limiting the server from
finding >n results, but you could pull results out one at a time by
using  the asynchronous calls

	l = _ldap.open(...)
	id = l.search(...blah..blah..)
	for num in range(10):
		res = l.result(id, 0)
		print "Got one result", `res`
	
but i'm a bit rusty on this.
