In what way is the LDAP server in a "bad state"?
Are you using LDAP or LDAPS?
Can you connect to the server on the LDAP port using telnet?
What does your hosts.cfg file entry look like?
What parameters do you have for xymonnet in tasks.cfg?
Does the xymonnet process eventually exit?
Can you run xymonnet manually (as the xymon user, under a xymoncmd shell),
such as:
$ xymonnet --debug --timeout=1 <name-of-server>
If this fails in the same way, perhaps you can tweak some parameters, such
as adding "--dns=ip" or "--noping" or other options.

We are having issues with xymonnet handing on 4.3.12 (happened on 4.3.10
too). As soon as we added an ldap check which can hang (due to the ldap
server being in a bad state), xymonnet hangs and goes purple on all remote
checks.
Nothing shows in the logs. Here is the historical xymonnet info from the
last purple:
