Help, please! My OpenLDAP server stopped working!

[Norbert Kiesel <nkiesel@tbdnetworks.com>]

Hi,
I'm at a complete loss.  We are using OpenLDAP for about 6 month now
with good results (currently 2.1.10 / bdb.4.1.25 on Solaris7).  Since
2 days the server got suddenly very slow (30 sec for 1 sublevel search
with (objectClass=*).  Not really knowing waht to do, I compiled a new
2.1.14 using gcc-2.95, and copied the openldap-data/* files to the new
server and started it.  The server starts fine, but on login hangs in
login:
do_bind: version=3 dn="cn=Manager,o=tbdnetworks.com" method=128
conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="cn=Manager,o=tbdnetworks.com" method=128
==> bdb_bind: dn: cn=Manager,o=tbdnetworks.com
bdb_dn2entry_rw("cn=manager,o=tbdnetworks.com")
=> bdb_dn2id_matched( "cn=manager,o=tbdnetworks.com" )

I also tried to reindex the data using slapindex, but this also hangs
(both under 2.1.10 and 2.1.14):
slapindex startup: initiated.
backend_startup: starting "o=tbdnetworks.com"
bdb_db_open: o=tbdnetworks.com
bdb_db_open: dbenv_open(/opt/OpenLDAP-2.1.14/var/openldap-data)
indexing id=000000ea
=> bdb_tool_entry_reindex( 234 )
entry_decode: "o=tbdnetworks.com"
<= entry_decode(o=tbdnetworks.com)
=> bdb_tool_entry_reindex( 234, "o=tbdnetworks.com" )
=> bdb_dn2id_add( "o=tbdnetworks.com", 0x000000ea )

Any ideas?  I'd really hate to switch back to i-Planet :-(
