The patch is not "required" although it is certainly recommended.

It was supposed to be included. It will be included in the next 2.3
release. In the meantime you can get it from the OpenLDAP CVS.
http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/build/BerkeleyDB42.patch
Hmm, could there not be a configure check for this patch? My initial
Mandriva cooker contrib package of openldap2.3 isn't too stable, and
I suspect this is the problem (due to one error message I saw to that
effect), but it would be quite tricky for people to track down
without knowing where to look ...
If there were a patch that were actually required, then of course we
would check for it in the configure script, but it is not required. Its
presence or absence has no impact on the stability of the BDB library or
the OpenLDAP code. It merely allows the library to release the
transaction log files without requiring slapd to shutdown, so that you
can use db_archive or DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE.
