Still you didn't answer which version of OpenLDAP you're using...

1. I'd strongly recommend to enable schema checking! Running without
schema checking is asking for trouble! No joke! I guess you have invalid
entries in your database.

2. Judging from the words 'ldbm' and 'Berkeley DB 4.0.14' you're running
really ancient and buggy releases of OpenLDAP and Berkeley DB. Upgrade
both to current stable releases. Otherwise you can't expect any help I
guess.

Which does not mean anything. Probably someone recently added an entry
which screwed up the DIT in your database.

Ciao, Michael.
