A brief look at the slapd binary reveals that it uses select() instead
of poll().  This means it is bound to the size of __FD_SETSIZE which is
1024.

The change in slapd should be fairly simple.

The fact that you only see this after some time might suggest that the
daemon is leaking file descriptors.  This should probably be
investigated, too.
