Now I just have to wait and see if everything is going to be okay. Anyway, in two weeks I plan a total change of the distribution and then I'll pay much attention to BDB version and so on.
Btw. - are you using 2.3.7 in productive environment?
I am going with the following setup tonight for my push into production.
openldap 2.3.7 w/ syncprov.c from HEAD bdb 4.2.52 backend with 4 patches from sleepycat and 1 patch from openldap (openldap-2.3.7/build/BerkeleyDB42.patch) using syncprov for replication
