Re: OpenLDAP freezes and doesn't respond

[Cyril Grosjean <cgrosjean@janua.fr>]

Before building OpenLDAP with debugging symbols and no optimization, we 
noticed some possible locks (with db_stat) on the bdb (4.8.30) back-ends,
that we can reproduce with the main Java application that interacts with 
OpenLDAP. It uses to occur when we create a few users.
So, it could possibly be a problem with the way our Java application 
works with OpenLDAP, even if once OpenLDAP is frozen, other usual LDAP 
clients
such a ApacheDirectoryStudio or ldapsearch can't connect (bind request 
sent but no response) to OpenLDAP. Also, the same main Java application 
didn't
use to freeze our previous (Sun DS 6) directory.

So, we now first intend to replace bdb and test with hdb or possibly 
some other database back-end, before testing with debugging symbols and 
no optimization.
I'll let you know the results of of our tests ..
