we seem to have a winner. doing a configure --without-threads and making
the binary  seems to allow test003 to pass. i suppose the implication is
the db-2.7.7 I have is either not thread-safe, or not compiled to be
thread-safe.

test006 fails - it would seem that the slapd may be getting grumpy with
a supplied config file:

an its search on "acl" didn't get me anything I could match to this,
though I might have misinterpreted what I was reading. i'm still not
very adept at its searches
