This is likely to be the same issue as https://bugs.debian.org/759544 which is fixed in Debian testing and unstable. Discussion on fixing this is stable can be found at https://bugs.debian.org/785053. Fixing this in a 0.9.4 version probably requires inclusing other patches that are part of 0.9.5.

Changed in nss-pam-ldapd (Debian):
