Oops!  I failed to copy before that last paste, it seems.

Here's the real one.

Dropping the last blank parameter did the trick.  At least, the 
search returns successfully.

However, the filter still seems not to be translating the requested 
search field properly.  Whatever I choose from the pick list, the 
search filter ends up as "(&(mail=*)(cn=...))".  For example, here's 
what the server recorded when I requested a search for "First Name" 
is (strict) "Nels":

The filter *should* be "(&(mail=*)(givenName=Nels))".

As long as the cn field happens to match the search I do, then I'll 
get a result, but it's not really working the way it should.
