You might browse the archives of -stable/-bugs.  I believe this
was covered before.

Make sure you compile it with -D_REENTRANT ONLY if you are using
threads.  Otherwise, -U_REENTRANT.

Again, see the archives, or maybe the FAQ...  You might also want to
try our current version, OpenLDAP 1.2.  It detected threads, compiled,
and ran just fine under RedHat 5.2.

Well, it should be more stable.  OpenLDAP 1.1.x has significant problems
running in threading environments.  OpenLDAP 1.2 is much better (though
your mileage may vary).
