Quanah,
      Attached are the two new debug output files and below is what I
used to compile BDB for debug.

Here's the relevant info:

This locker is holding a write lock that the other threads are blocked waiting on:

8000542d dd= 6 locks held 1 write locks 1 pid/thread 1502/2366790512 8000542d WRITE 1 HELD dn2id.bdb page 4

This thread is using both a reader transaction and a write transaction (which is perfectly fine) 80005666 dd= 0 locks held 2 write locks 0 pid/thread 1502/2483026800
80005666 READ          1 HELD    0x2c1bc len:   5 data: 0x0300000000

This thread is only waiting to read the locked page:
80004e6f dd=19 locks held 0 write locks 0 pid/thread 1502/2437909360 80004e6f READ 1 WAIT dn2id.bdb page 4

Thread 2366790512 is 0x8d125b70
       2483026800 is 0x93fffb70
       2437909360 is 0x914f8b70

In your gdb output we see that 0x914f8b70 is LWP 2306, waiting in a search.
Thread 0x93fffb70 is LWP 1506, waiting in a delete.
Thread 0x8d125b70 is LWP 2457, completely idle.

I.e., the thread that owns the offending write lock is not executing any operation at all. It's important to note that back-bdb only takes write locks inside of a transaction, and transactions either commit or abort. In either case, all of their locks are supposed to be released at the end. It is impossible for slapd code to leak write locks like this. (In fact, the slapd code itself can never lock an individual DB page, as is being done here. Those locks can only be taken by the actual BDB library code.) As such, it appears to be a bug in the BDB library you're using.

Are you sure that OpenLDAP was built against the BDB library you've built, as opposed to some version that was already installed on your system?

Howard,
I believe I am compiling against the proper version of BDB, here is what I did to compile OpenLDAP, with the debugging:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib"
env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include" CFLAGS="-g -O0" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib" ./configure --enable-wrappers \
--enable-crypt --with-cyrus-sasl --with-tls --enable-debug
make depend &&  make &&  make install STRIP=''

I even have ld.so.conf set with the path to /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib
Is there something else that I am missing that will ensure it compiles against the version that I have installed?
Thank you,
