Described here with a fix, and with discussion in the thread:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/201710/msg00019.html
"Inside freelist_save() the mt_loose_pages could be merged into the
mt_free_pgs.
http://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap.git;a=blob;f=libraries/liblmdb/mdb.c;h=1bf81ed4c87901991b7cac885b0d8cbc4dd23436;hb=bb8502f08800a44a6b91a94d6478aa7101c4cc77#l3444
But at this point all loose_pages also still present in the mt_u.dirty_list.
On the next loop inside freelist_save() a one more page could be
requested, and page_alloc() could return a page which is already in
the mt_u.dirty_list.
In this case mdb_mid2l_insert() will return -1."
We could catch and handle the error when WRITEMAP is not in use.
Another fix is for freelist_save() to quit messing with loose
pages and just reserve room for them, like it does for me_pghead.
In LMDB 1.0, we'll have more options.
