I've committed a number of fixes to OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_1_2 which you
might test.  OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_1_2 is available using CVS (http://www.openldap.org/software/repo.html).

Folks have reported growth on repeated modify requests (to which a
fix was committed).  I haven't seen or heard of significant memory
growth due to repeated (but one at a time) searches (once the cache
was fully populated).  (There might be such a leak, I just haven't
seen such).
