Re: slapd 2.0.7 and solaris 8

[Landon McDowell <lmcdowel@planet-max.com>]

	I am runnning OpenLDAP 2.0.7 on Solaris 8 servers (sparc) and I am
not seeing this memory leak problem. I am running 10/00 Solaris 8 which I
believe corresponds to Maintenance Update 3. 

	None of the daemons have a tremendous load, but they all have been
running for months without any noticable memory problems.
