Public bug reported:

Mahara: 16.04
DB: Postgres
OS: Linux

The LDAP user sync is incorrectly continuing when the search in the
context fails to contact the server.

The following error is generated in the cron.log file:

Because we've set the sync to suspend users, all LDAP users are then
suspended.
