I believed I have the same issue as described in ID 18 "rlm_ldap
MAX_FAILED_CONNS logic and ldap response 19 constraint violation".  I
would also like to see that "constraint violation" being handled as
RLM_MODULE_REJECT instead of RLM_MODULE_FAIL.  Is it likely that
Adam's request be included in the next update?
