IIRC, this was fixed in OL 2.3.32 or thereabouts.  Moral of the story -- 
Keep up to date, and don't use the packages shipped by RedHat.  RedHat's 
packages are meant for providing the ldap client libraries, not for running 
OpenLDAP as a server.  If you want to run OpenLDAP as a server, use the 
pre-compiled packages provided by Symas (<http://www.symas.com>) or Buchan 
Milne (<http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages/>).
