Following the instructions directly above (taking into account I 
mistyped /usr/sbin/.3 as /etc/sbin/.3) would have fixed this (I tested it 
myself), but I have fixed the issue in the 2.3.38 packages which are now 
available (from http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/), and it is now possible 
to run all the tests using only the binary packages, by:

1)sudo yum install openldap2.3-tests
2)export TMPDIR=/tmp
3)cd /usr/share/openldap2.3/tests
4)make tests

(This packaging of the tests was initially done for Mandriva, which at present 
doesn't need the versioned suffix for 2.3)
