use back-bdb or back-hdb; they support that control.

Thanks! That being the case, I'm now having a new problem:
If I compile with '--enable=bdb --with-bdb-module=static' instead of
'--enable-bdb --enable-ldbm --with-ldbm-api=berkeley' and use 'database
bdb' instead of 'database   ldbm' in slapd.conf, slapd crashes after trying
to write it's first record and cannot restart again without freezing up
until the contents of /var/lib/ldap (slapd.conf: directory   /var/lib/ldap)
are purged.

I am trying to compile openldap with bdb support against Berkeley DB 4.2.52
statically, because my system (and all it's other software) is running
Berkeley DB 4.1.25 and I can't upgrade everything. Is it possible to compile
OpenLDAP 2.2 with Berkeley DB 4.1, run with 'database   bdb', support the
Simple Paged Results Extension, and not have slapd crash? Or do I need to
continue to try to get OpenLDAP built with Berkeley DB 4.2, and somehow
co-exist with the rest of my Berkeley DB 4.1  based system?
