I discovered a strange situation with the LDAP directory lookup in Mail. The
first time you enter a search query it returns all matching results. However any
further querys (until reloading Mozilla) using the exact same search phrase only
return a partial result. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search LDAP for "bron" gives results for "dick_bronson@..." and
"Karen_Bronson@..."
2. Change search to "bro" and get a ton of other names.
3. Change search back to "bron" now only gives result "dick_bronson@..."
4. Change search to "brons" and get both entries.
5. Change search back to "bron" gives just the one result.
6. Change search back to "brons" and now only get one entry.
Actual Results:  
Dick Bronson    dick_bronson@....   Sys Engineering

Expected Results:  
Dick Bronson    dick_bronson@....   Sys Engineering
Karen Bronson   Karen_Bronson@....  CCS Sales

At first I thought it was related to case sensitivity, but trying it out on some
other examples disproved that theory. I do not know if it occurs on previous
builds, as I just discovered it on this new install.

Assigning bugs that I'm not actively working on back to nobody; use SearchForThis as a search term if you want to delete all related bugmail at once.
