In doing testing for ITS#8491, I encountered this problem in my lab. Any time a single replica is parsing the session log, all other operations on the server come to a complete halt. I.e., slapd does *nothing* other than handle the sessionlog query. This seems like a fatal problem.

A patch for this is available for testing in https://github.com/quanah/openldap-scratch/tree/its8486. It no longer keeps the sessionlog mutex locked for the entire time that it's playing the log.
