i'll try it. i don't know if it's a bug with the kernel, or with
openldap, i don't know enough about it, but just to make sure i'll ask
this: i assume that you try to take into account various architectures
in coding this software, but i just want to make sure that you are,
since this isn't the first time i've seen bugs in software projects
that result from the devels involved not taking into account issues
like BE and LE (big endian/little endian), and many other little
quirks of the various arches.
i'll say this: i haven't seen such problems before with openldap, so
it'd be surprising to see this be the case. hopefully it's just a
kernel bug. i'll go do some more research on EPOLL, relationship to
the kernel, etc. just so i grok this.
cheers, and thanks,
simon
