Hi Quanah,

Sorry to trouble you, but I was a bit early in reporting that the
problem was solved. Indeed the problem is not solved even after setting
the cachesizes correct.

Foll. is the info abt the server :

OpenLDAP Release - symas-openldap-silver-2.4-12.1


Hi,
I'm not very familiar with Symas' OpenLDAP releases, but I assume that's a packaged version of 2.4.12. That's quite an old version now, and many bugs have been corrected since then.
The latest OpenLDAP version is 2.4.18 now, and I'm sure Symas has some more recent packages. I recommend upgrading as soon as possible, this may well solve your issue. 

Regards,
Jonathan
