Apparent database corruption causing bus errors

[Chuck Meyer <chuck@popes.com>]

Hey folks,

I've been using openLDAP casually on my Mac OS 10.3 system for about 6 
months now (via fink installation).

I had a power outage recently and now my LDAP crashes on search 
consistently with a bus error.

I attempted to do a slapcat to extract the data and (after exporting 
several entries)  I see the following:

entry_decode: "8Z"
<= entry_decode(8Z)
# id=0000007f
Bus error

Since there's no way "8Z" is a valid record, I'm assuming my database has 
been corrupted.  Is there any way to recover the data beyond this record 
or to repair the database?

So far my searches are making me believe I'm going to have to export the 
data I can, recreate the database and re-add all missing records.  I'm 
hoping there may be an easier solution?

Thanks for your time!
