It turns out that Microsoft changed how it handles the MaxPageSize value for the domain controller LDAP policy. The Server 2003 DC returns just over 34,000 objects for a certain query, but the Server 2008 DC in the same domain and therefore subject to the same LDAP policy returns around 20,000 objects. This is breaking things.
The question is: Is this a result of a new policy in Server 2008, or did Microsoft code in a new, lower max-value for this particular policy value? Whatever it is, the upper limit seems to be 20K. Don't know yet.

In your own link you can read that the default maxpagesize is 1000. I guess you have changed that yourself. You tipycally do that with ntdsutil
