It will.

I believe at least 18 releases occurred between 2.3.6 and the current,
which makes about one year.  If some of the most experienced OpenLDAP
users, including some of its developers, tell you it will recover, and
your personal less than 5 minute experience with a year old release tells
you it won't, who would you trust more?
