In OpenLDAP 2.1 and 2.2 the checkpoint directive acts as follows - *when 
there is a write operation*, and more than <check> minutes have occurred 
since the last checkpoint, perform the checkpoint. If more than <check> 
minutes pass after a write without any other write operations occurring, 
no checkpoint is performed, so it's possible to lose the last write that 
occurred.

In OpenLDAP 2.3 this behavior has been changed; checkpoints occur every 
<check> minutes as I already mentioned in my previous email here.
