Agree.

The Novell LDAP aseemblies work very well for us so long as we set
GC_DONT_GC=1 (disable garbage collection).  Otherwise you get a lot of
'object referenced after it was disposed' problems and the programs
hang.  The Mono Directory Services also work well but we've never been
able to figure out how to get a binary (octet-string) attribute value;
otherwise they seem quite bug-free.
