Have you tried verifying the berkeley database?

1) Stop the ldap process
2) "cd" to the ldap database directory
3) Run "db_verify" - see if it passes the test.

# db_verify /var/lib/ldap/*

Well at least you know there is a problem with the database now. You can use db_recover to try and repair the database. I would make a copy of the database directory before you try making any changes. Take a look at "man db_recover" for instructions.

If db_verify is still failing then you can try using db_dump and db_load to extract and reimport the data into an empty database. If that fails then I think you should just resort to a recent good backup.
