problem importing entries.

["Jim Greene" <jwgreene@megalink.net>]

Hi All,
    We are trying to import about 18,000 entries into openldap using a php
script...  After around 3000 entries or so slapd locks up and can only be
killed with a kill -9, then a db_recover and a restart.  I am assuming
something needs to be tuned properly to get things running smoothly?  Below
is my slapd.conf  Any help is appreciated:


include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
include         /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/user.schema
