Ah, thank you. I had failed to understand what that option did.

OK. Here is a try to improve the documentation.

Set this to a number greater than 0 to request paged results from
the <acronym>LDAP</acronym> server in accordance with RFC2696.
- The default (0) is to not request paged results.
+ The default (0) is to not request paged results. This is useful for
LDAP servers limiting the number of requests returned at the same time, like
the Active Directory LDAP server that only return 1000 entries at the time. It
will not help if the LDAP server is configured to refuse to return anything if
the result set is too large, like the default setting for OpenLDAP. If this is
the case, the LDAP server need to be configured to allow paging of unlimited or
large enough result sets.
