The abandon appears to be issued by the client; it refers to msgid 12,
which is not present in the logs so we have no idea of what it refers
to.  One point is that it looks like the client ran multiple concurrent
operations on the same connection; at some point it might have issued an
abandon on an early operation (msgid=12 as opposed to msgid=135 of the
latest) and shut down the connection abruptly, while other operations
were still running.  Slapd correctly closes the connection, but other
operations are still using the cached connection and thus lc_refcnt is
not 0.  Slapd should likely defer connection shutdown until all
operations in that connection either complete or acknowledge the
abandon, and in any case they release the cached connection.
