Looking at the logs, it appears that it's also requesting '+'.

I couldn't reproduce with a test (mostly unloaded) slapd. Since
back-monitor dynamically builds the results based on the activity of
slapd, the root cause could be related to the type of activity your
slapd is doing (e.g. active connections, running operations and so).
I don't have a FreeBSD at hand right now, could you post a "thread apply
all bt" from gdb? I might need to ask for further core inspection with gdb.
