I've written a bench programme that can simulate multple clients at a time
doing all kinds of queries. After about aprox. 4000 operations slapd start
to act really weird. 
 
I just read on the dev mailing list that a new cache mechanism will be
released. When it is i'll try it. For now i'm still digging in back-bdb
code. Hopefully i can find the cause so i can fix it somehow.

keep me informed if you discover something.
