The fix for ITS 5469 stopped the assertion failures that caused slapd to crash, but slapd continues to crash every few days due to receipt of SIGPIPEs.

That is not possible; slapd explicitly ignores SIGPIPE.

We had been running 2.3.41 plus the fix for ITS 5469, but upgraded to RE23 as of about a week ago to make sure a fix wasn't already present. Below is a representative backtrace.

This trace is not indicative of a crash. You have to tell gdb not to stop when SIGPIPE is received in order to get an accurate view of the program behavior: "handle SIGPIPE nostop"
