Holy sh*t batman, that's a gigabyte (or close enough)!  That's definitely
not the default, and slapd will try to allocate that amount of storage for
*each* index file it opens.  I don't care what your ulimit says.  Since
you didn't mention you were working in a supercomputer lab, you are probably
running out of virtual memory, exceeding your swap space, or something
like that.
