Re: (ITS#4329) Error in test008-concurrency in AIX

[hyc@symas.com]

Clearly your process' memory size limit is too small. I would just set 
it to "unlimited". test008 will make slapd spawn 16 threads; in back-bdb 
each of those threads will consume at least 8MB and probably more so 
right away you need at least 128MB but you currently have the limit set 
at 32MB.

Too bad AIX doesn't ship with saner defaults, this problem comes up 
quite often. Since there is no software bug here, this ITS will be closed.
