Can you post your slapd.conf file. Can't guarantee that will help, but 
we need to know what type of backing
database you're using and how it is configured. If you're using bdb, did 
you install the DB_CONFIG file
in the database data directory and tune it?

I'd also advise you read the appropriate sections of the FAQ at 
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/1.html.
What caught my eye in your debug output was:

  ber_get_next on fd 11 failed errno=11 (Resource temporarily unavailable)

which is listed in the FAQ.

Hope that helps somewhat ...
