RE: slapd-bdb cachesize
There appears to be a memory leak in slapd related to modifying entries,
adding new values to attributes. I've fixed it in CVS HEAD. The fix for
2.1.15 is a bit different, will appear later.
As I mentioned before, if you suspect a memory leak, then you should get hold
of a malloc debugging tool and try to verify whether a leak actually exists
or not. If you're running on Linux, my hack of FunctionCheck (version 1.5.1)
is pretty useful for this purpose. It's what I use to track these issues.

You can use it too. Please do.
