This is just a guess, but if you compiled OpenLDAP with the tcp wrapper 
support, add slapd entry in hosts.allow for localhost (127.0.0.1).  If you 
share you build procedure and test logs, we might be able to help you 
better.

In my testing I found virtually no difference between Solaris 8 and 9. 
Actually Solaris 9 performed better for me, I presume because of 
improved file system and networking performance.  I've run OpenLDAP 
(various versions including 2.2.15) on Solaris 9 for several years in a 
very busy environment without performance or stability issues.
