This is a problem with BDB 4.2 and is discussed in the mailing lists.
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200411/msg00272.html

A patch for BDB 4.2 (and corresponding patch for back-bdb) are provided 
here:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200407/msg00068.html

The back-bdb patch is not needed if you use BDB 4.3, which is supported 
as of OpenLDAP 2.2.19.
