There are limits you can set that apply only to the GUI, and there are 
limits you can set which apply to LDAP.  It's possible you set some 
limits which only apply to the windows GUI.

I don't see any setting which directly corresponds to sizelimit.  The 
only ones that control the size of the result set are: MaxPageSize, 
which seems only to apply to paged result searches; MaxTempTableSize, 
which sounds something like our idlistscanlimit and could be applicable 
here; and MaxResultSetSize, which could also be applicable here.

Do you have more than 10000 entries in your active directory?  Might AD 
be attempting to return more than 262,144 bytes?
