I've looked and not found anything but it's also not the easiest issue to search for.  We are on CentOS DS now but can move to 389 of course but hesitate to put forth the effort if we aren't reasonably sure it will resolve our issue.

There's talk of considering other products which no one wants to do but we're all edgy as this has caused a fair amount of downtime and about all I can do at the moment is monitor for it and re-initialize when it happens which doesn't inspire confidence.

CentOS is downstream of RHEL.  RHEL is downstream of 389.  Even if a 389 
developer is able to reproduce on CentOS, we have to first get the patch 
into upstream 389, then into RHEL, then there has to be a RHEL release, 
then someone in CentOS has to pick up that build and respin for CentOS.
