[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#688797: openldap 2.4.23 and 2.4.31 slapd server process frequently stops during everyday use

[Jose Calhariz]

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.31-1~bpo60+2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream


During normal day use the slapd daemon stops and have to be restarted by a watchdog daemon.  
This problem is present on openldap 2.4.23 and on 2.4.31 (private backport from wheezy).

>From a previous investigation with 2.4.23 this is a problem of deadlocks in Berleckey DB.
The backport was in the hope that this was the bug #618904.  But our problem is still 
present on 2.4.31.

Exists information from a "db*_stat -CA" that I will send in the next email.
