ok.. i can can obsolete my original posting from this point on now.. the 
problem doesn't seem to be related to bdb at the second view. i tried to 
add exactly the same entries (about 72k) offline with slapadd and online 
with ldapadd, and noticed that i get this error only with slapadd's 
database.
i suspect now that this error may be related to malformatted entries.. 
(i.e. no encoding of "special" characters)

any hint or experience would be appreciated..
