long time? the slapd ran for about 5 hours or so. there where few 100.000
lookups in that time. after that, slapd crashed... (ok, yes, we've been online
with it, big mistake...)
we thought we solved the problem, compiling on a AIX 4.2.1 machine, but i
think, we've been mislead, or we used the wrong binary now (don't think so ;)
we have exactly the same problem with openldap 2.0+
btw it's qmail-ldap service, we are running (or better trying to run)
