Well it is not a typo, but I looked at the wrong place. This is the 
version number of slapd.conf :-(
gentoo version of openldap: 2.1.30-r2... hope this is more like Windows 
2000 than 3.1 ;-)
Up-to-date packages is one of gentoo's strong points, but if a sysadmin 
does not update them, this is not worth much...
