The third argument to ldap_enable_cache() is the maximum number of bytes
to use for cached information. Try passing something larger than 1000
(or pass zero if you want the cache to be limited by the timeout value
only). This is fairly well documented in the man page, which can be
found here:
http://www.umich.edu/yp-cgi-bin/ldapman?3+ldap_enable_cache#sect2
and in the U-M LDAP source distributions.
