Slapd memory usage increases endlessly. It's same in 2.4.39 (from CentOS 7 repository). During some simple activity (e.g ldapsearch) memory usage increases, but it's not decreases after the activity end.

You're likely seeing the numerous issues known to occur when using glibc as the default allocator. OpenLDAP is routinely profiled for memory leaks, and there are none currently known to exist. It is always strongly advised to use a different memory allocator with OpenLDAP, such as tcmalloc.

For example, I wrap slapd with:

As there is no actionable bug report here, this bug will be closed.
