OK, maybe I wasn't clear enough, so I'll rephrase my initial question:

Is it normal for a 'slapd' server to ONLY correct itself via a restart  
of the 'slapd' process?

I asked because of my earlier findings today.  Since waiting for the  
system to correct the discrepancy in the DIT by itself proved to be a  
futile exercise, and since a manual restart produced the results, it  
seemed as though I was observing suboptimal behavior, and was asking  
if this was indicative of something else.
