Well, that doesn't make much sense. (I assume you mean "stopped or 
started," and a stopped slapd should result in a refused connection.) Are 
you sure you don't have any firewall/SELinux/etc. in the way?

Regardless, run slapd with -d option as described in Admin Guide (trace 
level perhaps). Start up a window with the slapd -d and another with your 
openssl and/or ldapsearch client, and see how/if the slapd process reacts 
to the incoming packets.
