Issue

• While using ipa migrate-ds to migrate from OpenLDAP to IPA, the ns-slapd process grows to fill all physical RAM, and is eventually oomkilled.

  PID  USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+     COMMAND

• Errors from the end of the ipa migrate-ds debug log:

  ipa: DEBUG: handshake complete, peer = 10.0.0.76:443
  ipa: DEBUG: Caught fault 4203 from server https://authtest.example.com/ipa/xml: Can't contact LDAP server:
  ipa: DEBUG: Destroyed connection context.xmlclient
  ipa: ERROR: Can't contact LDAP server:
  

• Verified via tcpdump that LDAP queries to source LDAP server are returning quickly, ruling out the source server as a cause.
