Maybe this is a locale related problem. I am using Traditional Chinese on OpenSolaris and having the same problem. If I change locale to "C" (LANG=C) or en_US.UTF-8 then Address Book and Contact Sidebar plug-in will work properly.

When following Wayne's instruction -
NSPR_LOG_MODULES="ldap:5,timestamp"
export NSPR_LOG_MODULES
NSPR_LOG_FILE=$HOME/logs/Thunderbird.log
export NSPR_LOG_FILE

Case 1: Using en_US.UTF-8, there are messages about LDAP bind/search/unbind operations, works perfectly.

Case 2: Using zh_TW.UTF-8, nothing happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set LANG to zh_TW.UTF-8
2. Launch Thunderbird
3. Select Tools/Address Book
4. From Quick Search in the Tool Bar, enter name or e-mail address to search
5. Nothing will be returned

Note: If using C or en_US.UTF-8, then everything works fine.
Actual Results:  
No entry will be found.

Expected Results:  
The matched entries in LDAP Directory Server will be returned.
