These releases are old:
OpenLDAP 2.3.27 was released 2006-08-19
python-ldap 2.2.0 was released 2006-04-10

There have been numerous bug fixes to both packages since then. While I
don't have a 64-bit box myself there were several related fixes
contributed and tested by others. So I suggest to build recent releases
of both from source and test with that.

Whatever stable means to Red Hat for these particular packages. Sorry,
if you insist on using these ancient versions I have to point you to Red
Hat's support.

Ciao, Michael.
