Hm, but the ldapsearch command only returns after the complete query result
has been written to the cache (at least here it behaves so), which can take
quite a while. So it seems to me that the client has not received the
LDAP_RESULT.
Ah yes, that's correct. I misspoke - the DB is written when the cache has
received an LDAP_RESULT from the remote server. The client gets this result
when the cache has finished writing. We could move the DB write to a separate
cleanup handler instead of running it in the response handler, which would free
up the client sooner.
