l_dap_search_ext function and AD SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED exception

[Patrick G. <pat...@rp...>]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to resolve a compatibility problem with Active
Directory because this server rize a SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED even if you
specify a sizelimit parameter with l_ldap_search_ext...=20

I have had a discution with AD mailing list and it seems I can't modify
AD parameters to avoid this so I would like to try to modify
LDAPObject.c::l_ldap_search_ext function in order to receive a partial
result even if there is a SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED exception.

It will be very grateful to you if you show me the better way to do it.=20

Thanks.

Feel free to submit a patch which really makes sense. Note that error 
handling is done through Python exceptions. One has to find a clean way to 
return the partial search results and raise the exception.
