Most of your modifications are fine, but a quick look tells me that your
modifications in the parsing of the LDAP URL have been too invasive,
e.g.:

- you look for the port number in the 'dn' and not in the 'hostname'
- you check the validity of 'scopestr' and 'attrs[0]' before it is
'\0'-terminated

Would you prefer that I try to fix your fixes (and stick with your
coding style)
or do you want another go?
