Issue 17619

Moving this issue from the Sun-internal bug tracking system to IssueZilla.
Original description:

1. create a new ldap datasource
host = ldap1.central.sun.com
Base DN = dc=sun;dc=com
port = 400
2. open a new querydesign
3. add the table to the design
4. add the fields firstname and lastname
5. as criterion for the field lastname insert like 'schwanz'
6. execute the query
==>> there should be 2 entries found, but sometimes there are only one or none.
Maybe you have to execute the query sometimes.


[JM] : will investigate this. But my first question is why are you using port
400 and not port 389?

[JM] I took a look at this and yes, I can re-create the issue where it only
returns 1 of the entries but never none. I would be grateful if you clarify this
for me. But I
must also state that Mozilla displays the exact same behaviour. I must admit that I
can re-create this in Mozilla using the Advanced Search. But it is very
intermitent and I can only re-create it if I continuously run the same search
repeatedly. I would estimate that only one entry is returned in 5% of the searches.

This is the same behaviour in SO but it appears to happen at more frequency in
SO. I was not able to produce this on an LDAP Server that is located on our
local network here either in SO or Mozilla.

I have checked Mozilla bugs and do not see any issues related to this. I will do
some more investigation.

[JM]: I have created a bug in Mozilla for this:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139793

JM: I can confirm that this still happens intermittently using srx643d i.e.
following the integration of mozilla 1.0
