Right, looking at the source I see the page size (I was thinking
it was the berk db default of 32k maybe?).  I wanted confirmation that the
2G problem won't be a problem user the berkeley db.  I had looked at their
dbsizes table, but didn't know if there was anything internal to openldap
to cause problems.

Thanks again and Regards
