Fedora directory users - Jun 2006 - ns-slapd process growing

I am running the fedora directory server version 1.0.2
on debian gnu linux version 3.1 (debian sarge)

The ldap server itself (ns-slapd) worked alright, but upon increased usage,
the ns-slapd process is ever increasing memory usage.
ps shows size (SZ col) of 220669,
top show virt 863m, res 407m, shr 47m

Is this normal behavior? Any way to restrict memory usage in any form?

This isn''t normal. If you haven''t changed the entry cache size
configuration,
and you''re not exercising one of the obscure cases where the server
uses large quantities of memory intentionally (e.g. returning a very large
group in a search result set), then I suspect this is a leak.
