Well, obviously the process is attached. But why is it dropping your 
connection instantly? It should be sitting there, listening for input 
data.

I'd:

0) check your libwrap configuration (/etc/hosts.{allow,deny}).

and if you don't find anything there,

1) restart slapd with excessive debugging (-d -1 or similar), telnet 
localhost 636, see what's going on.
