Maybe to compensate, slapd_remove() has code which checks if emfile is too big, but nothing checks if it is too small - which looks like slapd might never start listening again.

On 2nd thought - I don't see how the outcome you describe can occur. If emfile is non-zero, the list of listeners will be checked for a listener with non-zero mute status. If any are found, one is guaranteed to be unmuted.

But if emfile becomes too small, it reaches zero with a listener still muted - and with emfile = zero, the nothing is unmuted.
