What do you get from
ldapsearch -x '(&(gidNumber=103)(objectClass=posixGroup))'
?

Are you using GDBM as your back-end database?  I've had problems with
GDBM and index corruption.  Try stopping ldap, running "slapindex", then
restarting ldap.  Also make sure all the back-end files are owned by the
correct user.
