Use cn=config to add an index to a subordinate database, then make a 2nd cn=config change. 2nd change waits while (I assume) indexing, and blocks other slapd operations. So ldapwhoami during 2nd change takes 5 seconds.

To reproduce: ./bug.sh To debug, attach gdb in another terminal during 2nd MOD. gdb -q ../servers/slapd/slapd `cat slapd.pid`

trace.txt shows the 2nd config_back_modify() waiting in slap_pause_server().

This is not really surprising. Are you suggesting the indexing task should stop if another config mod comes in?
