Yes... Knowing that I would have expected slapcat to fail/crash.But I wouldn't expect slapadd to crash to - being the first to open the BDB environment. If any slapadd can be crashed by any user/shell executing slapcat (with write perms to the dir), then it can be difficult to protect an long running (hours) slapadd from being crashed by accident.
