          <p>
	    If the underlying tcp connection is closed and an LDAP
	    operation returned tcp_error, the client applications
	    tend to close the ldap handle with eldap:close. This will
	    cause a <c>{nocatch, {gen_tcp_error, ...}}</c> exception.</p>
          <p>
	    Such errors are now ignored during close, because the
	    socket will be closed anyway.</p>
