Description of problem:
Sendmail+Openldap
-----------------
The slapd processes are consuming a lot of memory
Which causes the swap to be filled up to 100% and the machine will get a load of 5 and more

PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME CPU COMMAND
18570 ldap      16   0  190M 104M  1128 S     4.8  5.1 358:35   1 slapd


Backend which is used is lbdm
Following indexes are maintained on the dataindex   

objectClass,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber,memberUid,sendmailMTAKey,sendmailMTAMapName,sendmailMTACluster,sendmailMTAMapValue  eq




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-servers-2.0.27-17

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start slapd
2.Wait for a few days

  

Actual Results:  The first days everything goes well but after a week slapd
processes start to use more than 600M of memory

Additional info:

-4cpus and 2G ram
-Hardware SCSI raid1

objectClass: sendmailMTAMapObject
sendmailMTAMapName: mailer

Comment 1 Leo Eraly 2005-08-23 15:57:55 UTC
Following directives are also placed in the slapd.conf

cachesize 100000
dbcachesize 11000000


The complete data directory (/var/lib/ldap) is only 12M
