We are using OpenLDAP 2.4.19 with a patch for ITS6334.  We are using libhoard
for memory management.  The backend database is bdb 4.8.

We are seeing slapd memory usage grow until all of the memory on the system is
consumed.  Our database has a bit over 500,000 dns.  The cache values we are
using 
are:  

  cachesize 200000
  dncachesize 0
  idlcachesize 200000

On a test server with 16 bg of memory, 14.7 consumed by slapd we see:

  ldapsearch -b cn=monitor + | grep -i cache
  olmBDBEntryCache: 115
  olmBDBDNCache: 519795
  olmBDBIDLCache: 60510

I have tried running slapd under valgrind and when the server is shutdown
valgrind 
does not report any memory leaks.  It appears that slapd allocates the memory,
remembers it has allocated it, and does not use it.
