This is a known upstream bug, please see the release notes:
http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.2#head-447967c60eb305ef2c5dbbc3f4e8b3c4c5170632
As stated there, we have an nss_ldap package in the testing repo that
can fix this issue, but it will not be fixed in the official repo until
upsream releases a fix.
