[courier-users] ldapaliasd failing randomly - continuation of the "authldap failing

Hi!

I've noticed the "authldap failing randomly" thread today and realized
that I've been experiencing the problem outlined there myself, for quite
a long time.

The patch provided by Sam in that thread (see
http://www.mail-archive.com/courier-.../msg25639.html)
has remedied the problem in the authdaemon LDAP module - I've tested it
this evening. The LDAP authentication module currently retries every
time when the connection is dropped by LDAP server, eliminating all of
'ldap_search_st() failed' messages from debug logs.

However, there's another place in the Courier codebase where a similar
fix is needed - Courier's LDAP alias daemon (courierldapaliasd).

Currently, "400 Service temporarily unavailable" errors are returned to
clients whenever a connection between courierldapaliasd and the LDAP
server breaks.
A patch analogous to the one for authldaplib.c, that would make
ldapaliasd retry the operation, should elmiminate this problem.

I will be more than happy to test such a patch if Sam provides it...
