I realized that it has a significant memory leak and the current code in 
rel_eng 2.2 still crashes immediately on the first consumer request 
(2.2.23 still seems fine in this regard). Are this the kind for 
problems you are referring to? Or is it just completely broken? 
Unfortunately we have a few customers using syncrepl :(. So I might 
need to fix these issues.

2.3 it not an option at the momemnt. But is it feasible to backport the 
the syncprov overlay from 2.3 to 2.2? If yes, I might go that way.
