It wouldn't surprise me if the situations are related. That is
sometimes my slapd server does crash. However I can't reproduce it on
demand. Which is a pity, as otherwise I could get a stack trace with
gdb.

(just a random guess: stack overflow in slapd?)

What annoys me (as far as debugging is):

a) I haven't been able to reproduce the problem with ldapsearch.
b) Since TLS is enabled that prevents me from tracing packets.

Hmm. I wonder if ldap-account-manager will work talking to ldapi:/// -
that might be worth testing - on the assumption that TLS won't be
enabled on a local socket connection. Will try next Monday.

Other then that, the next best thing I can think of is to attack gq
with gdb and look at ldap calls made.
