RedHat should have ensured, in their init script, that database recovery would 
be run for each database in the case where slapd has not shut down uncleanly. 
Other distributions did this for 2.1 and 2.2.

BTW, you should also ensure you have a checkpoint directive for each bdb 
database (see slapd-bdb(5)).

However, since 2.3 does database recovery at startup if necessary, you may be 
better served by installing 2.3.

The easiest way may just be to use the packages I build for RHEL (direct 
rebuilds of the packages I maintain for Mandriva):
