Package: slapd
Version: 2.2.23-5
Severity: important

The slapd almost stops working while a CPU consuming process like the
one started by

echo 3^33333333 | bc &

is running on the same machine. That is: a query (e.g. querying a
passwd database by pam_ldap) which is answered immediately (i.e. less
than 1 second) if no such process is running in parallel can take more
than half an hour. One can reduce it to a few minutes by increasing
the priority of slapd to the maximum. If one kills the CPU consuming
process, the query is answered immediately. The bug is completely
reproducible, and I have also reproduced it with the newest version

openldap-stable-20050429.tgz

from www.openldap.org (compiled with "--enable-crypt"). Only when I
compile with the configure option "--with-threads=no", everything is
ok, but the slurpd needs threads. With threads, also the test 17
performed by "make test" fails if a CPU consuming process is running
in parallel. I have reproduced the bug on the following
architectures/kernel versions (always with Debian Sarge):
Opteron/2.6.7, Opteron/2.6.11, Athlon/2.6.8, Pentium 4/2.6.8. With
Debian Woody on Pentium 4/2.6.7, everything works, also with FreeBSD.

With kind regards
Ulrich Hermisson
