Startup problems, BerkeleyDB

[Hannes Fremann <hg@automat.muc.de>]

Hi,

when i start slapd the first time after compilation - following the 
steps  in the quick startup guide on http://www.openldap.org) - it logs
the following lines:

Dec 18 20:49:28 alkomat slapd[3368]: bdb_initialize: Sleepycat Software: 
Berkeley DB 4.1.24: (September 13, 2002)
Dec 18 20:49:29 alkomat slapd[3368]: bdb_db_init: Initializing BDB database
Dec 18 20:49:30 alkomat slapd[3369]: bdb(dc=independent,dc=de): PANIC: 
Bad address
Dec 18 20:49:30 alkomat slapd[3369]: bdb(dc=independent,dc=de): PANIC: 
DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
Dec 18 20:49:30 alkomat slapd[3369]: bdb_db_open: dbenv_open failed: 
DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery (-30982)
Dec 18 20:49:30 alkomat slapd[3369]: backend_startup: bi_db_open(0) 
failed! (-30982)

and cores. I tested this with openldap-2.2.25 and db-4.1.24, db-4.2.52.
The strange is, that the log recommends to make a db recovery - but at 
this point there is no db - i think that slapd should create the db 
under the var directory. Doing a "make test" on the compiled binaries 
gives the following output:

Any help is appreciated !
