Currently Apple's installed build of OpenLDAP has everything linked in 
statically. How is your overlay module packaged? .la/.so? .dylib?

We use the first style for loading SASL plug-ins, so I know that can 
work. I believe that you can't load a dylib as a plug-in in the same 
way which might be the problem you're running into.

If the static approach doesn't work, you may want to take your question 
to darwin-development@lists.apple.com.
