Well, since objectclass.bdb doesn't contain any information (only
indexes of the objectclass attribtute) not available in the other
database files, I would try:
1)stopping slapd
2)moving the objectclass.bdb file (in case you want it back later for
some reason)
3)run 'slapindex'
4)check permissions on the database files, to ensure the user slapd runs
as has write access to them
5)start slapd
