You're changing environmental variable __kabc_ldap that is shared
between your threads. Environment is not designed for that kind of
usage, it was designed for settings. Either use an option to set
output file or just redirect stdout. If the interface of ldapsearch is
so lame that it requires environmental variable use env to set the
variable: "env __kabc_ldap=/tmp/wrjhdsf ldapsearch ..."
