Funny, even running either slapd.1 or slapd.2 under valgrind, it still 
succeeds for me.

Looking at Gavin's testrun files, diffing slapd.2.log against a successful 
run, the main difference I see is that on the failed run some queries get 
added into the cache later than in the successful run. As such, the difference 
comes down to whether the pcache thread gets to run before the next query 
arrives or not. So, still non-deterministic and not really a big deal.
