What does this look with top and/or in dmesg over the run time? Is it a
simple out-of-memory? Definitely a bit of a gross method, but what's ls
-lh core show for size?
(If so, is it warranted given your load or is there a leak, etc etc...and
of course make sure you're up to date on the surrounding packages,
OpenLDAP isn't the only thing that can leak.)
