If you are using BDB as your backend, you need a DB_CONFIG file.

See:

<http://www.stanford.edu/services/directory/openldap/configuration/bdb-config.html>

Note: You could attach to the process with gdb, use the continue command, 
and then when it crashes, take a backtrace of all the threads...  Although 
you'll need to compile slapd with debugging symbols.
