Well, we're getting closer!!

The problem is reproduceable.

Install exim-ldap2-4.30_2 on freebsd 5.2.1

This will obviously install openldap-client-2.1.28_1 if your ports are
up to date!

Then start exim and try a telnet on port 25..

I noticed some interesting commits on the openldap21-server however
potentially someone more knowledgeable may have some thoughts on this
matter!
