So you mean --without-threads? I actually tried that first, but the
resulting slapd was broken. It received requests, but it seemed to only
partially decode them, and never processed them. The ldapsearch command
would just hang waiting for a response. I didn't mention it before because I
figured this option was no longer being supported. If it's really supposed
to work, I'll look into it some more and see what's going on.
