The sudo ldap patch has no support for timelimit and bind_timelimit options
which provides timeout settings when a server is not reachable. This leads
to insane timeouts (i.e. 10 minutes or more) when a server is down.

A patch has been coded and sent upstream for inclusion:

Still no reply from upstream. Can we get this into the tree for testing in the
meantime?
