dnMatch flooding logs and access blocked

Hello,

I am seeing the following get repeated in my slapd logs for hundreds of line. I know it is due to the logging level.

However, when this starts happening no one can access the server because what ever is logging this is blocking.

Can anyone tell me what is causing this log entry?

slapd[20616]: dnMatch -1#012#011"uid=item1,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"#012#011"uid=user,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"

slapd[20616]: dnMatch 2#012#011"uid=item2,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"#012#011"uid=user,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"

slapd[20616]: dnMatch 2#012#011"uid=item3,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"#012#011"uid=user,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"

slapd[20616]: dnMatch -2#012#011"uid=item4,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"#012#011"uid=user,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"

slapd[20616]: dnMatch -1#012#011"uid=item5,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"#012#011"uid=user,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"

slapd[20616]: dnMatch -2#012#011"uid=item6,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"#012#011"uid=user,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com"
