Which version were you using? Check LDAPConnection.java, looking for SDKVersion.
If you downloaded tar/zip file from web page, likely you got an old version 4.1f.
Get the latest one from cvs, version 4.17f, there are some minor fix in getCount.
Please file a bug if you experience problems with latest JDK.
Thanks, -ey

I have finally traced my problem (see below), and found a new issue in the process. The original bug was all me: (I'd forgotten) I was doing an initial check to determing the cardinality of entries that match a search (0, 1, or more). In that preliminary search, I used a limit of 2, so I was only getting two entries. No exception is thrown, so there is no way to tell that I exceeded this sizelimit unless I cycle through the results. However, before that my code does cheerfully try to sort a results set of many with only two actual entries, and with referrals involved this error is the result. Even though this doesn't happen with direct queries, I accept it's unquestionably my own stupid fault.
The new issue came with the fix. If I have a match and try to use LDAPSearchResults.getCount() to find out how many entries, as a referral I only always get "1", even with setBatchSize(0) on the search constraints. Of course, sorting clears this up before a getCount() call, but obviously that isn't an option if a limit is involved. I see code in the getCount() method to handle referrals appropriately, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Since I am assuming server sizelimits can cause the same behavior, this could be a bigger problem. Hopefully, this helps. I'll be happy to submit a bug if advised.
