LDAP server problem

LDAP server problem

[james]

I've got Openldap (2.1.9) configured and running as an addressbook server
and it's been working nicely since I installed it a month ago.

Today I upgraded the machine it's running on to an SMP Celeron 400 machine
and now it's all gone to pot. I've not re-installed Linux I just put the
disks in the new machine and recompiled the kernel for SMP.

The problem is that as soon as I do a query on the LDAP data the slapd
process locks up with 99% CPU usage until I "kill -9" it. Oddly all the
tests performed by the "make test" bit worked.

Thinking maybe I'd broken openldap somehow I recompiled it, but that didn't
help so I downloaded the latest kernel to try. That didn't help either.

I'm kind of stuck and slightly confused now. Any ideas? The rest of the machine
works fine, it serves IMAP mail and is my internal SMTP relay and nothing
else has locked up.

Have you tried using strace, ltrace and/or GDB to determine what the
process is actually trying to do at that point?
