The replication may suddenly stop, and we see no reason for that. Sometimes it recovers by itself, sometimes it recovers only when the consumer slapd is stopped and restarted. Is there a "golden path" to debug this issue?
This sounds a lot like the problems we had, see ITS#5454. Replication has been running smootly since we implemented the patch included there.
An alternative version is implemented in the CVS head release, but that lacks a change from trylock to real mutex lock before the race condition is fully closed.
We experienced a lot of replication problems after upgrading from a slurpd based replication in 2.3.x to syncrepl in 2.4.8. We are currently using the CVS head version (as it was about a week ago), and most of our problems has been solved there :-) You should consider the cvs version, as it has many syncrepl and syncprov fixes.
