 Turns out it was the old "trying to use ipv6 sockets to do ipv4" issue.  Ldap 
 lookups work if you "sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0".
 
 Below is a patch that fixes it for me by using a v4 socket when dealing with 
 ldap servers that have a v4 address.

 The same issue and patch will apply to firefox and mozilla as well.
