Please note that test020 currently fails in HEAD sometime. I think this depends on the order in which the results for queries that hit the sizelimit are returned.

It seems to be failing for me more often than not. Why is it non-deterministic?

It seems that the order in which the entries are inserted into the cache is non-deterministic. Because of that the order in which they are returned from cache varies as well. The final test that compares the ldapsearch results with proxycache.out relies on the order.

I get a lot of DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK in slapd.2.log and if I don't missread the log it seems that sometimes the entries from Query 9 get inserted into the cache before the entry from Query 5 ("cn=Bjorn Jensen,ou=Information Technology Division, ...") and sometimes after. Depending on that the test either fails or succeeds.
