There is no such version of OpenLDAP.  I think you are confusing the CVS 
version string for the file with the version of OpenLDAP.

Of course, it is highly advised to not use the LDBM backend for a number of 
reasons.  It will be removed from the OpenLDAP 2.4 release entirely.

The /etc/sasldb issue is related to the use of SASL, not specific to 
Berkeley db, and it is likely that LDBM was compiled to use the Berkely DB 
software as the backend database storage software.  Don't confuse the 
OpenLDAP "bdb" backend with Berkely DB.
