I used slapcat without -l for two reasons:
usually i slapcat pipiing in gzip the stdout so i can realtime gzip
the ldif:
slapcat -f slapd.conf | gzip > out.ldif.gz
and also because on 32 bit slapcat, avoid the 2GB filsize limit on
output ldif
> > slapcat -f slapd.conf
here the full command was:
slapcat -f slapd.conf > fulldump.ldif
However, I've retry with "-l file" on 32 bit linux and solaris (why
not ?)
Linux stops when reached 2GB file out; but there was a little bit of
memory available and the allocation rate was similar to previous trials
In Solaris, due to speed up the test I've ulimit -d 1024000, reached
2 GB file without stops itself (usually solaris continues, simply
throws out additional data)
then some time later:
ch_malloc of 16392 bytes failed
ch_malloc.c:57: failed assertion `0'
Abort (core dumped)
with a while/loop ps, last line was:

this runs I've tried a db like:

In my trials, instead, allocation never stops :(
Perhaps due to a greater DB ?
