(My original message, which presents the problem, is at the bottom.)
Thank you for your responses, here is some more information:
You didn't mention what version of slapd you're running.
That's right, sorry. I'm running Debian-packaged slapd 2.2.23-8, using bdb 4.2.52-18 (everything on my system is the Debian sarge's packages, except for the kernel, which is a recompiled Ubuntu 6.06 kernel, 2.6.12 SMP).
