Re: (ITS#5187) test020-proxycache failing in RE_2_4

[rhafer@suse.de]

I think I have an idea what causes this bug. It is possible that the client  
closes the connection before the server had a chance to run the cleanup 
handler, the server sets op->o_abandon then (in connection_closing()). And 
after that the cleanup handler is started, which in case of op->o_abandon 
does not store the results in the cache.

To make this race more reproduceable it is sufficient to insert a 
usleep(100) before the call to slap_cleanup_play() in send_ldap_response() in 
result.c.

Any suggestions for possible ways to fix this?
