Based upon my testing above, I eventually deduced that the hang seems to 
be caused by the presence of the memberOf overlay. Does temporarily 
removing it from your configuration fix the problem for you?

Unfortunately the answer from upstream is "upgrade from 2.4.23", so 
unless Debian can raise an exception to push a version update into 
squeeze then it's going to require someone to perform a git bisection 
and backport the fix :(


ATB,
