Well in case anybody was worried, it is a fact that I'm still an idiot.

I rashly and incorrectly deduced OpenLDAP was freezing, but it was 
actually my own connection pools that were becoming exhausted and 
locking up (that is what happens when connections don't get returned to 
the pool, after all). The slapd server hums along, just as any 
ldapsearch would've told me. The bug is all mine, so I squashed it myself.

Sorry, so sorry.
