BTW, IIRC, your original OpenLDAP packages that shipped with your
distribution *did* do this, erring on the side of safety ...

http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPECS/openldap/ldap.init?rev=1.11&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

(in 10.1, recovery is only run in start(), not stop() and restart()).

And, IMHO, you shouldn't need to worry about running this on production
servers ... better to lose a bit on performance and be sure the DB comes
up correctly ...
