Yes, I can reproduce your observation. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes, this works as intended in LDAPv3. In opposite to LDAPv2 you MAY
send a LDAP request without prior bind request.

Where's the patch? Can't figure out why it does not send the formerly
sent bind request. It has all the data around. And if you take the
server down it will re-send the bind request.
