Slapd stops working after a NOT graceful shutdown

["Walter Vendraminetto" <lists@zonatex.net>]

I'd like to solve a problem which I faced few months ago.

When the server (RH 7.3) is shut down because of power black-out (UPS not
working properly) or brutal reset the LDAP service does not work anymore. I
have to slapcat the database and rebuild it to make the service work again.

Even if it does not happen often (last time this morning) I want to fix it.
I think it's a matter concerning the back-end configuration but I'm in
trouble on how to proceed: the only option set in the DB_CONFIG is the 
set_cachesize'.
How can I debug it ? I saved the 'corrupted' DB files ... 

thank you very much
