4 byte long length fields are being generated because we're calling ber_alloc()
instead of ber_alloc_t(LBER_USE_DER).  Discovered by careful perusal of the
source and
<http://www.mozilla.org/directory/ietf-docs/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-05.txt>.
 Patch forthcoming.

Without this fix, LDAP controls generated by the nsILDAPControl code a while ago
are invalid.  Fortunately, the fix is essentially zero risk, since noone yet
depends on these interfaces except for a single customer extension for
Thunderbird  that Ive done some work on.
