I got this as well. It's now noted in ITS#2848.

Since this problem never occurred with BDB 4.1, nor did it occur in BDB
4.2.42 (prerelease) I believe this is a bug in the 4.2.50 code. However, the
bug can be avoided and this has been fixed in CVS. This bug doesn't affect
OpenLDAP 2.2 because the fix was there already. (Precognitive programming...
;)
