I'll look at reproducing it again.
In this particular case, the master had a database rooted at "", with
some data around "cn=zimbra" contained in it. A replica was configured
as a syncrepl client, but with "dc=example,dc=com" as its base, by
mistake. This resulted in the CPU usage shooting to 100% on the replica,
and the logs showing it trying to add without success.
Okay, I figured it out -- This is definitely a misconfiguration type
scenario...
The database is something like:
database bdb
base "dc=example,dc=com"
...
Then the syncrepl config has:
searchbase=""
I'm not sure this is something that should be allowed -- where the search
base is broader than the database.
