slapadd and attribute value length limit

[Jon Roberts <jon@jonanddeb.net>]

I've seen this before, but now it's a real problem. Is there a limit to 
the length of an indexed attribute value?

Using RH 9, OL 2.2.5, BDB 4.2.52. I am updating my gospel example, but 
when I run:

# slapadd -l gospel.ldif

I get

slapadd: could not add entry 
dn="gospid=GVMattC14V15,ou=Gospel,ou=Expressions,o=mentata.com" 
(line=9405): txn_aborted! Cannot allocate memory (12)

where LDIF is:

dn: gospid=GVMattC14V15, ou=Gospel, ou=Expressions, o=mentata.com
objectclass: top
objectclass: gosp
gospid: GVMattC14V15
gospqualifier: 401415
gospowner: cn=Matthew, ou=Bible, ou=People, o=mentata.com
gospname: Matthew 14:15
gosptype: verse
gospdescription: And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, 
saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the 
multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves 
victuals.
gospdescription;lang-en: When it was evening, the disciples came to him 
and said, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the 
crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for 
themselves."
gospdescription;lang-la: vespere autem facto accesserunt ad eum 
discipuli eius dicentes desertus est locus et hora iam praeteriit 
dimitte turbas ut euntes in castella emant sibi escas
gospdescription;lang-af: En toe dit aand geword het, kom sy dissipels na 
Hom en sê: Die plek is verlate, en dit is al oor die tyd; stuur die 
skare weg, sodat hulle na die dorpe kan gaan en vir hulle voedsel koop.
gospdescription;lang-de: Am Abend aber traten seine Jünger zu ihm und 
sprachen: Dies ist eine Wüste, und die Nacht fällt herein; Laß das Volk 
von dir, daß sie hin in die Märkte gehen und sich Speise kaufen.
gospdescription;lang-el: οψιας δε γενομενης προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται 
λεγοντες ερημος εστιν ο τοπος και η ωρα ηδη παρηλθεν απολυσον τους 
οχλους ινα απελθοντες εις τας κωμας αγορασωσιν εαυτοις βρωματα
gospdescription;lang-es: Y cuando fué la tarde del día, se llegaron á él 
sus discípulos, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y el tiempo es ya 
pasado: despide las gentes, para que se vayan por las aldeas, y compren 
para sí de comer.
gospdescription;lang-sq: Pastaj në mbrëmje dishepujt e tij iu afruan dhe 
i thanë: ''Ky vend është i shkretë dhe u bë vonë; lejo turmat të shkojnë 
nëpër fshatra për të blerë ushqime''.
gospdescription;lang-sv: Men när det led mot aftonen, trädde hans 
lärjungar fram till
gospdescription;lang-sw: Kulipokuwa jioni, wanafunzi wake walimwendea 
wakamwambia, "Mahali hapa ni nyikani, na saa zimepita. Basi, uwaage watu 
ili waende vijijini wakajinunulie chakula."
gospdescription;lang-zh: 天 將 晚 的 時 候 、 門 徒 進 前 來 說 、 這 是 
野 地 、 時 候 已 經 過
 了 ． 請 叫 眾 人 散 開 、 他 們 好 往 村 子 裡 去 、 自 己 買 喫 的 。

the schema includes

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.15121.2.5.5 NAME 'gospdescription'
    EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
    SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{1024} )

---

slapd.conf has

index	gospid,gospname,gospqualifier,gospdescription   eq,pres,sub

---

and DB_CONFIG is

set_lg_dir      /var/log/openldap
set_lg_max      104857600
set_lg_bsize    26214400
set_cachesize 0 10485760 1

As you can see, it loads a number of verses fine. It seems to get stuck 
on the longer ones. What do I need to change (besides OS and OL version 
:) ) to get this data loaded and indexed?
