I'm not sure whether these patches will fix your particular problem, but you
should definitely apply them as they fix fatal bugs that arise when slapd
services more than one client concurrently.

What precise metric is going up & up? Can you send ucb-flavor "ps auxww" output
showing this? How many distinct entries are in your database and how many of
them are you querying for? How many concurrent clients are you running?

Not in my experience. I would wonder if the thread stuff in slapd has basic
problems on Irix.
