You've done something wrong. OpenLDAP 1.2.11 runs very solid for us (on
OpenBSD).

It works like a charm for us.

OpenLDAP 1.2.11 has no memory leaks. I usually have it running for more than
half a year before it is restarted.

Mike, your experiences may be true on Solaris - but who want's to implement
a big mail system on such a broken OS?
We had a long discussion about this, and it was clear that you were forced
to use slowlaris. while it may be true that OpenLDAP performs bad and in
unreliable on Slowlaris, this is not true for other OSes.
