Hi, 
I am testing OpenLdap 2.4.8 in mirrormode.
I have two mirror servers (A, and B) synchronized in SearchAndPersist mode with
a retry interval of 10 seconds : retry="10 +".
An injector writes data to A. The data is replicated in B. But this server
UNBINDs then reBINDs to A every 10 seconds ! 
This continues until slapd on A crashes with a SIGIOT. More investigation in the
slapd log shows that the crash is caused by the losing of the client syncrepl
connection coming from B !

If instead of B I configure an ordinary replica everything is OK.

I think there are two distinct problems :

1) Contrarily to an ordinary replica, a mirror ends the persistent search,
2) slapd crashes (very scarcely) after losing the client syncrepl connection to
which it was going to send data.

Below you find the backtrace after slapd crash.
See also more protocol details after the backtrace.

If required I can send any detailed information about my configurations.
Thanks for your help
Best Regards
Ali

============================

More protocol details :
1) As an answer to the SearchAndPersist Request, A sends to B an LDAP message
   [OPERATION 25] (which I do not know). But this message is not sent to an 
   ordinary replica.

2) I also noticed that after sending UNBIND, B sends a [FIN, ACK] TCP packet.
   As A does not ack this packet B sends a [RST, ACK] packet 30 micro-seconds
later.
