[Dovecot] ldap_search() failed "Server Busy"

[Paul Carter-Brown]

Thanks Timo,

Dovecot would not boot without count=1 but i did change the settings to
cache authentications and we cant reproduce the error any more.

Thanks for your help!

Paul

Oh, and enabling auth cache would probably solve this too, since most
auths wouldn't go to LDAP then.
