As usual, when investigating a hang, you should attach to slapd with gdb
and get a snapshot of what all the threads are doing. Working around it
before you know what caused it isn't all that useful in the long run.
Unfortunately this instance of slapd doesn't have debugging symbols
enabled (it's a stock Debian 2.4.25 slapd package), so I didn't think
gdb would be that helpful...But now that you mention it, I could
probably get some basic stack trace info that might yield some clues.
Thanks for the reminder :-)
