I've used BDB 5.2.36 for years w/o issue.Apologies, I thought I'd stated it in my first email but on reading it back I haven't. It's BDB 5.3.21
I've tested all the way up to 6.0.20. Didn't notice anything good or bad about any of them, and all are slower than LMDB.
Your ITS#7657 has gotten no attention, due to lack of interest. Aliases are a rather stupid part of LDAP; most other directory vendors don't even bother to implement them.
You might be able to revive interest in that ITS by providing a complete test case (config+data) that demonstrates the issue.
