I don't have any idea on your real problem, but note one thing:

slapd is multithreaded.  'ps' on RedHat shows one "process" for each
thread.

I don't know how to tell which "processes" are actually threads, except
that if you kill a process, all the other "processes" (threads)
disappear along with it.
