The reason I'm using LDBM is that I can migrate my servers to 2.3
-very quickly- by sticking with the same backend as I was using in
2.1.
Basically, my procedure was:
install binaries, run db_upgrade, start slapd. (takes about two minutes)

Is this error because my database directories did not contain the
'alock' file when I started up?  I saw that 'alock' was created when I
started.

I can do some testing on this once my slamd run is finished tomorrow,
but I would appreciate some direction.
