OpenLDAP 2.3 requires that you use the transactions patch to BDB 4.2.52 
that's available from various locations (see 
<http://www.stanford.edu/services/directory/openldap/configuration/bdb-build-42.html> 
for example).  I thought the patch was included somewhere in the OpenLDAP 
2.3 source tarball, but I didn't see it when looking through the code.

As for BDB 4.3, I would still say use it at your own risk. :)
