The behavior of the dncachesize setting when it is not ideal (2x) is not documented.

Howard notes:

The DN cache is allowed to temporarily grow beyond the configured size. It does this if many entries are locked when it tries to do a purge, because that means they're legitimately in use. Also the dn cache never purges entries that have cached children, so depending on the shape of the DIT, it could have lots over the defined limit.

This would be useful to note in the slapd-bdb & slapd-hdb man pages.
