Re: Deadlock (ITS#77)

Froze again!!

This time I managed to get some more info...

We were running slapd with errorlevel 4.  Now every time I attempt a
call to the server, it logs:

	ldap_pvt_thread_create failed (1)

If I attempt a "killall slapd", slapd logs:

	slapd shutting down - waiting for 10 threads to terminate

and just waits...  only way to kill it is with "kill -9"

I have gdb attached to slapd, but in my ignorance, I have no clue as to 
what to do next!

	any hints?

	--G
