I'm not exactly sure if what you mention is what I was experiencing, but it 
sounds quite similar. Instead of an error message, we would get a blank page 
after a failed login. Circulation was quite confused by this.

I've fixed this in the hacked up version we're running, but I have no idea what 
I did now as it's been 11 months.

I'll give as much help as I can, though, by looking at the file changes from 
1.0.6:

UserFinder.php. I think it was falling back to ldap if auth failed, so we want 
to make sure ldap is even enabled.
Starting at line 18:
global $ldapConfig, $use_ldap;

if ($result = $this->authenticateDB($username,$password)) {
    return $result;
} else {
    if ($use_ldap) {
        $this->ldapConn = @ldap_connect($ldapConfig['host'], $ldapConfig['port']);
        if ($this->ldapConn) {
            return $this->authenticateLDAP($username, $password);
        }
    }
    return false;
}

LoginAction.php. Something was wrong with the page it was sending you to on 
login fail.
At line 30, I changed it to:
'content' => 'content/loginFailForm.php');

Then you create the loginFailForm.php script (mine is attached).
