Do you have to replace all 300 members at once? That's kind of expensive, and it can be *much* more efficient to use modify/add and modify/delete to just add and delete particular values.

Is this using SSL/TLS? There were problems in old releases with "large" operations over SSL, if memory serves. (I can't remember the details though.)

Can you call $ldap->debug(5) before the modify operation and verify that the encoded operation looks OK?
