I'll need to check it; back-meta passed all my tests recently.  Does it
__always__ hang, or only some time?  There's a fix in HEAD for hangs
related to thread exaustion when the target and the meta are the same DSA;
if this is the case, a quick fix is to increase the "threads" parameter in
slapd.conf.  In the meanwhile, you can obtain the same results with
back-ldap: use the same configuration, only remove the "DN" portion of the
"URI".
