Comments are not allowed anywhere in the file, but must start on the first
column of a line; in detail, the loglevel command accepts a list of
arguments that are ORed to build the actual log level.  As such, slapd is
trying to parse "#", "Parsing", "+" and "ACL" as log levels.  Apparently
you were exploiting a bug in loglevel parsing that used to read only the
first argument.  This was fixed between 2.2.14 and 2.2.15.
