The LDAP statistics take a response packet and find the first packet in the
file with the same sequence number from the same flow and declare that packet
to be the request. In fact, sequence numbers can be re-used in the same flow
and hence the search should go back up the file for the most recent matching
sequence number instead of starting at the top.

The result is incorrect statistics and response times which are meaningless.

In my case, the LDAP client restarts the sequence number at 1 when it reaches
255.
