| Andreas,

Sure, but does any one of those fix his problem? Most likely it doesn't.
And, 2.0.x does work ...

Well, they don't really - but we are not here to discuss the wisdom of
running unsupported releases of RedHat either.

But, you have no way of knowing from what he posted that it *is* a 2.0.x
~~ bug.

When that might take them a day or more of work, and the answer may be a
simple "chown -R ldap:ldap /var/lib/openldap-data" or similar????

I don't know if you are in the position to judge that for everyone.
