 Really? That'd be bad. Might it be possible to have the syncprov
 overlay always queue the results in syncops->s_res a let a separate
 thread send them to the consumers? That should decouple the thread
 that's handling the ADD/MOD Request and the syncrepl Provider. Is
 that feasible and would it be worth the effort (I'd guess that'll add
 quite a bit of overhead to the syncprov overlay).

I agree that always queueing would be better. I haven't had time to look into this yet though.
