While that may be true, the OpenLDAP binaries you have installed are linked 
against 4.2 (and I'm guessing you're running RHEL4 then).

$ rpm -qR openldap-servers|grep db
libgdbm.so.2
libslapd_db-4.2.so
$ rpm -q --whatprovides libslapd_db-4.2.so
openldap-servers-2.2.13-4

Anyway, regardless of the database versions, the database format changed 
between 2.2 and 2.3, you should reload from ldif (which is the recommended 
method between major versions).
