The ldap_init() API just creates a new copy of a data structure in the 
memory of the LDAP service program. It doesn't actually attempt to make 
the connection at the point where you call the API.

AFIAK, ldap_init() should always succeed unless you're missing a 
prerequisite licpgm or unless your system is completely out of memory 
(though, in that case, you'd be having MUCH bigger problems! heh)
