Strange syncrepl? problem

[Duncan Brannen <dbb@st-andrews.ac.uk>]

Hi all,
      I'm running 2.3.19 on Solaris 10 and I'm using syncrepl to replicate.
I upgraded after finding my slaves not updating after running out of file
handles. (A separate issue but is anyone running tcpwrappers on solaris
and seeing it run out of file handles even after upping descriptors to 
65536?)

Anyway, I had a branch set-up for our Samba Machines

ou=smbMachines,dc=st-andrews...

This was present and populated on the master but not on the slaves, I 
deleted
it on the master & recreated but it still won't appear on the slaves.

dn: ou=smbMachines,dc=st-andrews,dc=ac,dc=uk
ou: smbMachines
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
objectClass: domainRelatedObject
associatedDomain: st-andrews.ac.uk

If I drop the s from the end of it's name it will propagate to the slaves.

I've tried creating a new slave, via slapcat / slapadd from the master and
adding the entry but it won't replicate to that slave either.

Getting syncrepl to log on the slave shows me

when I add smbmachine, but only

Feb 14 12:24:03 ldap slapd[8166]: [ID 968320 local4.debug] do_syncrep2: 
LDAP_RES_INTERMEDIATE - SYNC_ID_SET

Feb 14 12:24:04 ldap slapd[8166]: [ID 496601 local4.debug] do_syncrep2:

when I try to add smbmachines.

Could there be some kind of corruption in the master?
