You probably want to run with schemachecking on. You could reset this and, 
assuming it wasn't something you fixed during (2), post your slapd.conf 
and the results of "slaptest -d conf" and we might point out a few ideas here.

There are only a couple back-perl ITSs that aren't closed, so whatever you 
found on your search likely isn't on track to be patched. Please create a 
symbolic back trace per http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/59.html and 
file a report at www.openldap.org/its. You might want to clean up your 
config file here on the list first.

The mailing list is for discussion only, fixes are only instigated through 
the ITS system.
