Four other tidbits of info:

1. Platform: Red Hat Linux 7.3.

2. The problem only occurs with referrals. If I point the uri directly at
the master instead of the replica, it works correctly. No hang. So it
appears to have to do with referral processing.

3. The problem occurs with both back-ldap and back-meta.

4. I have "lastmod off" in the proxy config. Forgot to mention that. But
it doesn't make any difference.
