This is absolutely not an acceptable fix for this bug.  A 'sleep' only
reduces the frequency of a race, it does not eliminate it.  We need to find
out why the parent slapd process is again exiting before it's ready to
listen for connections - this is a regression, for a bug that was very
specifically supposed to have been fixed upstream in 2.4.28.  See bug
#589915 for the history.

The source files that were being patched for this haven't changed upstream
since 2.4.28, so I'm not sure what will have gone wrong.
