Well, while I won't discount the possibility I screwed up the copy, I still
think it's unlikely and also that theory doesn't explain why the master
(with the original uncopied database) died as well. Also, nothing was
running during the copy, so it wouldn't have been considered a hot backup?
And while still possible, it seems unlikely that this problem would not
manifest for 10 months, and then just after an upgrade...

We actually rely on slapcat for backup. The database files haven't been
touched (other than by slapd) or copied since the initial slapadd.
