Hi Howard,
The trace you supplied shows that the slapd process is loading Berkeley
DB 4.6, which is specifically not supported in OpenLDAP 2.3. That's why
slapd is dumping core. There are several reasons why slapd could be
loading BDB 4.6, and I couldn't tell you exactly why unless I looked at
the build. Most likely, though, it was used in the link phase, because
back-bdb and back-hdb specifically check to make sure the library they
loaded is the same version they were linked with. If they didn't match,
back-[bh]db would not initialize and an (elegant) bail-out would take
place much earlier. The fact that this problem exists and was so easy to
find should tell you how much testing went into that build.
What I find odd is that HP offers 'free' OpenLDAP when OpenLDAP is one
of it's supported Open Source offerings. Let me reassure you, HP's
supported offerings are much more carefully tested and work much better
than what you've seen here. I know, because besides having authored
back-bdb and big pieces of OpenLDAP, we also produce the builds HP
distributes:
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/255724-0-0-225-121.html
HP-UX on Itanium is one of our supported platforms.
We will contact the folks we work with in the HP organization to see
exactly what's going on. If anything useful develops I'll let you know.
I'm not trying to sell anything here, but if OpenLDAP is
mission-critical to your operations, might I suggest that you contact HP
for a supported version of OpenLDAP?
Sorry I didn't have better news.
Sincerely,

Matthews answer is better (wasn't in my threaded mail client view for
some reason) ;-)
