should be related to recent changes I made in test tools; basically,
write tools are run as many times as required by the related
configuration files, while read tools are run the max between the
related configuration files and the number of children requested with -
j.  In some cases, this results in extra reads.  The rationale is to
allow very heavy testing by using -j 250 and just a few lines in
do_search.*.  It is not clear if and why test008 is so heavily affected
by this change; I didn't notice much difference.

Basically, maxkids is 20; do_search.0 contains 6 searches, do_read.0
contains 5 searches, do_bind.0 (HEAD only) contains 3 DNs; the above
change roughly results in 3 times the searches and 4 times the reads
present in re23, and 20 bind loops that were not present in re23.

HEAD:

SLAPD_DEBUG=0 time ./run test008
...
8.81user 7.69system 0:23.40elapsed 70%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (14major+77735minor)pagefaults 0swaps

re23:

SLAPD_DEBUG=0 time ./run test008
...
0.58user 0.46system 0:11.18elapsed 9%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata
0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (15major+16793minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Note that in HEAD the slapd-bind tool has been added, which introduces
some extra load...


If this sounds unreasonable, I can add a special option arg (e.g. -J) to
implement that functionality.
