Description:
------------
NULL pointer access occurs to get option value when no option value is set on LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT.
ldap_get_option() of OpenLDAP returns success when no value is set,
which is implemented in libraries/libldap/options.c of OpenLDAP source tree.
But original PHP source code try to access property value.
Here is the patch to resolve this.

 	case LDAP_X_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT:

Although manual page of ldap.constants says LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT is the option for ldap_set_option(),
the parameter is also available on function.ldap-get-option.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$host = "localhost";
$conn = ldap_connect($host);
ldap_get_option($conn, LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT, $val);

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault

I don't have any ldap server running. so, i will hope some one can 
verify if this above test is running fine before they can commit it
