Assuming there is a leak in slapd, you need to use common
technics for discovering the source of the leak.  As you note
you are using Solaris, I note that certain Solaris libraries
have had significant leakage... regex and threads libraries
come to mind.

Of course, you could just be seeing cache/thread growth.

Use a variety of tools as they each have there limits.  I
use built in features of malloc() on FreeBSD to find common
problems.
