This seems to indicate you are running with threads.  OpenLDAP
versions before 2.0 do not work properly with preemptive threads
suchs as those used by the Linux kernel.

This may explain some of the erratic behaviour you see.  Or not,
you know, but you should upgrade to 2.0.6 or compile your 1.2.9
differently.  BTW, that version is old and, anyway, RedHat have
more modern RPMS in the 6.2 updates.  Cannot vouch for them
though.
