This trace resembles ITS#5401, which was only fixed in RE24. You can look at the patch to syncprov.c there. There's no plan to make another 2.3 release at the moment.

I don't mind patching for this locally, since slapd is crashing every few days. I looked at the patch for ITS 5401 in RE24. I don't know enough about slapd internals to easily backport it to RE23 since a fair bit of the surrounding code differs between RE23 and RE24; would you be willing to do so?
