Re: slapd eating up resource on 2.3.14
You might be able to nail down the thread that's causing the CPU spins
with a prstat -L. (or prstat -mL might also be helpful) You could
then gcore the process to examin what the program was doing at that
time, or truss the pid and look for the offending LWP(s) to see what
they're up to.
You may have to recompile with debugging (CC_FLAGS += -g ?), and I'm
not exactly sure how gcore works with gdb, but I'd be interested to
see if it's one offending thread, or a bunch.
