I just experienced what sounds like your problem... My BDB file were
corrupted, so to fix the issue I simply deleted everything in the data
directory and then ran slapadd to restore and recreate the files.
Immediately my LDAP server started working again. I hope this helps
you. The only way I saw this was a problems was by running strace on
slapd and watching where it hung.
