No, this is to help prevent you from going through hell.  Don't use BDB 4.3 
with OpenLDAP, it's unstable.

I'd also note that BDB 2.4.12+ only support BDB versions 4.4 and later.  If 
you are looking at using OpenLDAP 2.4, I'd strongly advise using OpenLDAP 
2.4.15 and a more current release of BDB.
