Possibly.  I note that the recommended version of BDB remains at
4.2.52+patches.  4.4.20+ has looked promissing so far.

On my systems, at least, OpenLDAP does handle this correctly.  However, I am
only using a single shared memory segment, and I'm using BDB 4.2.52.

Based off the configuration you sent in, I'm not exactly clear why you set
up so many subordinate databases instead of just using a single database. 
Certainly your performance would improve by using a single database, and
you'd get better resource usage...
