[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#731795: failures under load with slapd in wheezy

[John Jasen]

Perhaps some of this background information will be useful:

We did not see this issue in slapd 2.4.23-7.3, in squeeze.

The number of unique entries in the LDAP database do not appear to
affect where it starts dropping connections, as we've tested with 2 to
over 500 unique accounts.

The number of entries searched for do not seem to affect where
connections start failing, as tests were run on one particular DN, and
on up to 15 unique DNs.

This can be reproduced through a simple while loop in shell, using the
ldapsearch command line tools.
