Hi All,

I am running $OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.27 and Berkeley DB (Version: 4.4.20) on MacOSX 10.4.

The process crashes with memory leak often. The maximum it can go with 32 bit processor is 2 GB of memory and then it crashes. However , I have found that the it starts leaking more and crashing often (1-2 hr ) when the loglevel is 256 or 512. When it is at 32 it crashes once in 2 days or so.

Did anyone experience this before ? If so , what should be the loglevel when my intention is to make the process more stable.

Please note that the server which crashes is getting updated 5-6 % of total transaction.

Any help , suggestions will be appreciated.

I have found that many people misinterpret an oversized cache with a memory leak. Tune down your system so it doesn't use so much memory.
