The ldbm backend, or rather the cache sync daemon thread, may deadlock
during shut down.  The problem started when installing openldap on a
RHAS3 with NPTL threads library.  When this deadlock occurs only kill -9
can terminate slapd.  The problem seems not to occur on RH7.3 with
linux threads.

The cause of the problem is that the sync daemon thread will access
the connection_pool structure and its mutex after this structure has
been destroyed.

The included patch prevents this from happening -- most of the time.
