I'll look at reproducing it again.

In this particular case, the master had a database rooted at "", with some 
data around "cn=zimbra" contained in it.  A replica was configured as a 
syncrepl client, but with "dc=example,dc=com" as its base, by mistake. 
This resulted in the CPU usage shooting to 100% on the replica, and the 
logs showing it trying to add without success.
