Given a brand new OpenLDAP 2.2.23 installation, is there any reason to continue to use BDB instead of HDB, or can I safely move everything to HDB? Do the Berkley 4.2.52+ db_* tools support HDB? I recall a problem with db_verify once upon a time...

The issue with db_verify remains in OpenLDAP 2.2 back-hdb on Little-Endian (e.g. Intel x86) hardware. The issue is gone in OpenLDAP 2.3. Since the fix involves an incompatible database format change, it will not be backported to 2.2.
