Ahh, I see, referring to limits in the slapd.conf database config, rather
than the sizelimit and timelimit in the actual syncrepl config part.  That
makes sense.

I added this to the FAQ, does this sound right?

It is also a good idea to set sizelimit and timelimit to unlimited. This
will help to keep your slaves in sync during a large modification.
In slapd.conf, add this to your database configuration on the master server

limits dn.exact="cn=replica,o=my.org,c=us" size=unlimited time=unlimited
