Hi All,

I have been running slapd for the past 2 months on openldap version 2.0.17.  The
problem is face all of a sudden is that slapd eats up the full memory and dumps
core( it works fine for an hour or so and then the memory gets eaten up slowly
and dumps core). I upgraded the version to 2.0.23 and found that the memory gets
eaten up and then not able access the machine at all.

When the problem occurs i have noticed from the log that reads happen from ldap
and writes are not happening.

1. Is it because of some corruption in the berkely DB database ?

2. how do i find if there is corruption in  backend database and resolve it ??

3.  Is there some memory leak in slapd ?

4. Have set the following parameters

     cachesize 10000
     dbcachesize 500000000

The machine has 1 GB of RAM . What is the value that need to be set for the
above parameters has it goy anything to do with writes on to the database

This is very urgent.. please can someone respond

Waiting for the reply.. and thanks in advance
