I suggest you first try without those commands that are not part of
OpenLDAP software (and thus we don't know what else they do other than
supposedly testing slapd's config file and starting slapd).

In case the problem persists, I suggest you post what happens __first__,
rather than what happens __after__ the database environment has already
been disrupted.

In case the problem disappears, I suggest you either contact the
distributors of those scripts, or investigate yourself what actions they
take that disrupt the environment of the database.
