Same thing here on Ubuntu 9.10.

Here is a (possibly) relevant nss_ldap thread:

http://old.nabble.com/No-timeout-for-nss_ldap--td14576190.html

Unfortunately, that thread ends with "I am looking at fixing this now and providing some time outs on the soft
path as well. Will keep you informed." That was back in 2008.

In my opinion this is an important bug. One of the major reasons for using LDAP+nss is for high availability in corporate networks... and this bug breaks that completely.
