Hi Pierangelo,

I'm testing a build with your patch now.  In the meantime, you can see a 
callgraph generated from tcmalloc's heap profiling tool at 
<http://www.stanford.edu/~quanah/pprof.pdf>.  I baselined the graph to 
start after the first initial searches have been to load the cache, etc. 
So you can see that slapd grew by 14.3GB once I started doing the paged 
results searches.
