Consider upgrading to at least openldap 2.0.25.  I don't think anyone
here is interested in tracking down bugs that have likely been fixed
already.

If I recall correctly, versions in that era might have had security
concerns as well.

Yes, but you should check which library it was linked against.  gdbm
is undesirable for a number of reasons.

I don't run redhat myself, but if I'm not mistaken that is the
infamous broken compiler that they ship.  You might want to look into
upgrading to a stable development toolchain before you recompile
openldap.

Also, linux 2.4.7 is a bit out of date as well.  Over a year or so.
2.4.19 is the current Stable kernel at this time.  (Probably not
related to the troubles you are seeing)
