Please note that this Bug is private and may not be accessible as it contains confidential Red Hat customer information.

Description of problem:
if nsslapd-cachememsize set to the number larger than the RAM available, should
result in proper error message.

Steps to Reproduce:
I tried giving a higher value of 1000GB to dn: cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm
database,cn=plugins,cn=config's nsslapd-cachememsize from console,
and the server crashed.

Error ::

===>>>It says "Can't contact LDAP server" ..we should display a better
error message on console?

Actual results:
Error message says :: "Can't contact LDAP server"

Expected results:
we should display a better error message on console which indicates that RAM is
not enough.
