"Zenoss 4.2 - problems with ldap and snmp counter"

--------------------------------------------------------------
After a failed upgrade from 3.2.1 to 4.2 on Centos 5, I decided to start with a fresh install in Cos6.
But now I experience two problems with the fresh 4.2 install, which didn't happen on the upgraded 4.2:
1. The LDAPServer-plugin keeps on nagging about 'No performance data from plugin'. When I look in the event viewer, it says 'Could not bind to LDAP server'. In the details is says 'Datasource: LDAPServer/ldap - Code: 2 - Msg: Misuse of shell builtins'. So I'm wondering what the actual error is.
I connect using ldaps v3 on port 636. The 'Configuration properties' for zLDAPxxx are checked and working.
2. I created a custom Postfix template that uses SNMP to read some values. Because this value increases when a message is sent/received/etc, I used a COUNTER. As the value started at around 20K for some OIDs, the graph is a bit screwed up, but that doesnt matter. The second time it reads the value, it should only see a small increase and show this as the 'current' value. Sadly, this doesn work and the 20K is shown as the current value. When I do a manual test against one of the devices, the value is retrieved nicely. I also tried to switch to DERIVED, but that didn't have any effect.
Hope you guys can help!
Something else (probably a bug): there are problems with remembering the 'severity' within several modules. This always shows up empty. But when you change the value and save it, the value is saved. You can see this in de LDAP-module for example.
