This is a local test server on a 99% idle dual-core notebook which did not do anything else than processing a single search and after the client received all the results (72 entries, few short text attributes) the client sends the unbind. Nothing else is happening. And I can reproduce it everytime. I'm so cautious about this because I had a situation where a slapd process (a provider) died several times. And the last message seen in the syslog was exactly "connection_read(20): no connection!". Ciao, Michael.
