slapindex slapadd and corrupt indexes

[Salvador Salanova Fortmann <salvador.salanova@pas.udg.es>]

Hi,

We have been bitten by the corrupt indexes problem that has  been 
discussed lately in the list.

In our directory we have for each uid attribute 2 entries. Let's say 
that entries with attribute uid=abcd have become corrupted, when we 
search for an exact match (uid=abcd) we get the two entries. When we 
search for a substring match in the form (uid=abcd*), and the attribute 
that exists is uid=abcd, we get only one entry.

At this point we decided to reindex using slapindex, but this did not 
solve the problem. After having a look at the db files we realized that 
dn2id.dbb was not rebuilt. So we decided to slapcat -> slapadd, all 
files  were rebuilt including dn2id.dbb. Our corruption problem is for 
now solved.

Is this behaviour correct?? Shouldn't slapindex rebuild dn2id too??

I want to mention that the master server and all the replicas are 
equally corrupted. We are running redhat 7.1 and OpenLdap 2.0.15.

Someone on the list wrote tha redhat's 7.1 thread library was broken, 
could someone please tell us which libraries are ok to use ??

Thanks a lot
