Thanks, Victor. As usual, you're right ;)

Once the LDAP library has been properly tamed, everything is working nicely.

For the records, as it is OpenLDAP under the hood, adding

NETWORK_TIMEOUT 2
REFERRALS       off

to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf (normal RHEL location, YMMV) made the trick. The
timeout value is incidental, I have reduced it as directory servers are
very close (same LAN segment) to Postfix servers and should respond almost
immediately.
