It looks like your index might be corrupt.  When you search for
something that isn't indexed but you get a message more like this:
<= bdb_equality_candidates: (myAttrib) index_param failed (18).

Whereas your message (bdb_index_read: failed (-30989)) seems to be
more related to sleepycat not being able to read the index, not a
specific attribute.  :)


Check the actual index files to make sure they're correct permissions,
etc, and then try a db_recover.  (although you may need to go to more
extreme means like slapcat/slapadd or rm/slapindex).
