Thank-you for replying...

Slapd is multi-threaded and so never forks except on startup when it is
detaching itself from its control tty. In NT (cygwin) that's not really
relevant because it usually runs as a service. New threads are created
as needed up to the maximum allowable number, which currently defaults
to 16. Slapd continues to use threads running under cygwin.



Wow, even though I compiled OpenLDAP server with the --without-threads flag there are threads being created, saw five threads running.

To prove whether or not slapd is creating multiple threads, just look at it
with a good system monitoring tool, such as Taskinfo 2000. That will let
you see what the slapd process is doing, including how many thread are
active at any given time.



Interesting, so on cygwin, does the --without-threads even have an effect? Because when I do not use --without-threads the server hangs when exiting. BTW I am using the pure cygwin compile, not with the mingw patches.
