I have seen similar things in my production environment (4.2.52 + patches).  
The first time I noticed this all three nodes of a load balanced pool reached 
this state within 30 minutes after all the servers had been up for 
approximately 24 hours.  It has happened much more sporadically since that 
time.  The server would accept new connections, but nothing would be logged 
by slapd and no results would be returned. 

I have been trying to collect more data on this problem to post it, but was 
wondering if perhaps this was a know issue and is fixed in 2.3.20 (maybe 
ITS#4385?).

Thanks,
