sounds like your db files are corrupted in any way.. to ensure flawless 
operation of slapd, export your tree using ldbmcat and reimport with 
ldif2ldbm. of course you'll have to (re)move the db-files between these 
two steps.. and you might have to run ldif2index after that, though i'm 
not sure.. (just check whether the index files have been created or 
not..)

hth,
