Makes sense, really. LDAP tests use whatever LDAP library your system has,
and Xymon currently has very little control over timeout handling once it
hands over control to the LDAP library. Some libraries implement a timeout
setting - but only for queries, not when connecting to the server.

Newer OpenLDAP libraries have real timeout handling, but Xymon 4.x hasn't
been modified to use it. Will do in 5.x.
